PROPOSAL The ability to switch the visibility of desktop icons without needing to alter the .desktop file MOTIVE Currently on UME the icons are all together in /usr/share/applications. If I alter an icon to OnlyShowIn (the current preferred method) when I pull a new version of the software it will ask me if I want to use the new .desktop file or continue with my version. This is rather confusing IMO. The ideal would be to have a specific directory for Hildon such as /usr/share/applications/hildon-apps everything that I want to show (make visible) is in this directory which could be symlinked to /usr/share/applications Perhaps even better would be something in the users home directory like: ~/.hildon-apps/ as this would stop the requirement for editing system archives CURRENT CONFUSING SITUATION For example, cheese does not have OnlyShowIn but it appears in hildon ...others also do not have OnlyShowIn and do not appear..it seems that there is some special implementation (a.k.a hack) for ubuntu mobile POSSIBLE BLOCKERS The xdg spec doesn't currently provide such a feature I believe just an idea anyway, abracos Ian -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: http://getfiregpg.org iD8DBQFIRVDjZXia3Con1vcRAm/dAJ9eJJCVzfMeMyczIrmnHTt0m2fmBgCfYPXv cC4pQTyRCQnZa7ij/fjrENU= =zQrC -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- http://ianlawrence.info -- Ubuntu-mobile mailing list Ubuntu-mobile@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-mobile
