Title:
Unity keeps shortcuts to desktop files instead of copies
Status in Unity:
Won't Fix
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
I have installed a game via Wine (which created a nice shortcut on my
desktop). After moving the shortcut to Unity panel, it showed up correctly, but
after removing the shortcut from my desktop shortcut in Unity disappeared.
This behaviour is desired, because the icons of not installed apps will
disappear automatically, but will prevent using it for 3rd party applications
or WINE applications.
Steps to reproduce :
1. In terminal: cp /usr/share/applications/gedit.desktop ~/; chmod +x
~/gedit.desktop
2. Drag the gedit icon from your home directory to the panel
3. Watch the icon show up on the panel
4. Delete the icon from your home directory
5. Watch the icon disappear
Fix:
Unity should create copies of desktop files that are not located in
"/usr/share/applications" and "/usr/local/share/applications". So the current
behaviour will remain, but will allow users to add their own custom launchers.
