[Bug 1057584] Re: Subdock issue with .desktop shortcuts

 

As I recall, my problem was that I was dragging the .desktop file to the
launcher. Instead I created a launcher and added the contents of the
.desktop file instead (Its been awhile, and I don't remember if that was
exactly it) but after that it was fine.

Title:
  Subdock issue with .desktop shortcuts

Status in Cairo-Dock : Core:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Wasn't sure exactly how to describe this.

  I used playonlinux to create 4 shortcuts (.desktop files) for wine to
  launch word, excel, powerpoint and onenote. It placed them on my
  desktop, and I dragged them into my launcher subdock.

  When you look in the dock though it shows 4 icons of the same type,
  and they all launch the same application. if I look in ".config/cairo-
  dock/current_theme_launchers/" they are all different files, and they
  all have different content. If I double click them on my desktop they
  open the correct application.

  I have attached a screenshot showing the icons on my desktop, in the
  subdock, and in the config directory.

  One other thing, if I rename the files and reload cairo-dock, the icon
  being show in the subdock, and the program it launches changes. It is
  always 4 of the same thing, but it might be Excel, Word, or whatever.

  This is 3.0.99.rc1, ubuntu 64 bit, gnome-session.
