[Bug 994123] Re: Does not group Microsoft Office 2007 Programs ran by wine

 

Hi,
let's try to narrow the problem :-)

these launchers, how did you create them ? did you try to drag them from
the Applications Menu into the dock ?

what's the command of the launcher ? you can see that in the .conf of
the launcher, in ~/.config/cairo-dock/current_theme/launchers (look for
the "Exec" field)

the Exec field may be empty if you created it from theApplications Menu
, in that case it means the launcher uses the original .desktop file
(the one from the Applications Menu); look at the "Origin" field, it's a
path to a .desktop, then copy-paste the content here.

did you try to assign a class to the launcher ? (launch Office, then
edit the launcher from the dock with right-click, and under "Extra
parameters" use the "grab" button; please copy-paste here the class you
got).

also, you can try to modify the command to make it easier to understand
by the dock (something like "wine notepad.exe" works).

Title:
  Does not group Microsoft Office 2007 Programs ran by wine

Status in Cairo-Dock : Core:
  New

Bug description:
  I have Microsoft Office 2007 installed through Wine.  I am able to
  create launchers for Excel and Word, but they open as a wine glass
  under the name of "wine" instead of being attached to the launcher.
  Quicken is able to capture the programs because I set the field Class
  of the program: to "qw.exe"  However when I set excel/word class to
  EXCEL.EXE or EXCEL.EXE, Wine or EXCEL or Microsoft Excel, it continues
  to fail to capture the program.

  I am running Ubuntu 12.04 x64 
  Using Cairo-dock v. 3.0.0 with OpenGL and Wine 1.4
  I use compiz, Gnome,  and use fglrx graphics driver from ATI.
