Re: [Elementary-dev-community] Moving the About dialog of apps to a menu entry in dock launchers

Re: [Elementary-dev-community] Moving the About dialog of apps to a menu entry in dock launchers
Using a static quicklist would work too. But I don't like it because why would you want to see the About dialog when the app is closed? Anyway, for that to work we would need to create a command line argument ( http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~elementary-pantheon/granite/granite/view/head:/lib/Application.vala#L117) to show the about dialog, which will be called from the static quicklist defined in the .desktop file. Nothing hard apparently. 2013/9/11 Daniel Foré dan...@elementaryos.org Only dynamic quicklists disappear while the app is running.

I should add that doing it the static way will require each app to deliver the adequate .desktop file. 2013/9/11 Julian Unrrein junrr...@gmail.com Using a static quicklist would work too.
