I have Fedora 14 with Gnome 2.32.
I am trying to create a desktop Launcher that I can receive
drag-n-drop url links from Firefox. I have a simple case working
sporadically. Sometimes it works and most of the time it does not.
Sometimes I can drag a link and drop it on the Launcher and it works.
Most of the time the drop never triggers the Launcher. Some links on a
page seem to work consistently, other links never work.
If I drag-n-drop other objects from the Desktop or a Nautilus browser
to the Launcher, the Launcher is always triggered. So it would seem
that the Launcher and drag-drop is working.
If I drag and drop the url link onto the Desktop. The Link object
always appears on the Desktop. So it would seem the Browser is doing
its job correctly, too. It is only when I drop a link directly from
the browser onto the Launcher that it fails sporadically. I have tried
both Firefox and Seamonkey with similar results. When it does work, it
seems to happen best when the browser is first started. After a few
successes, it stops working.
Any suggestions on how to debug this? Is there a log somewhere that
captures these events?
Here is the Launcher:
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=TestArgs
Comment=jsd sadhaskdh
Path=/home/pwalden/Videos
Exec=testargs %%k= %k %%u= %u
Icon=gnome-panel-launcher
Terminal=true
Type=Application
MimeType=text/html;
Here is the Exec script:
#!/bin/bash
echo PWD=$PWD $*
sleep 15
If I create the Launcher in a (top) panel. The Launcher is triggered on
every drop from the browser.
I do not know why having the Launcher on the Desktop is flaky and the
Launcher in the panel works.
I note the the "Path=" key-value pair record does not work in the panel
based launcher. I added the the Path= by editing the .desktop file for
the Launcher in $HOME/.gnome2/panel2.d/default/launchers. No matter what
I set it to, it always fires the Exec command with Path set to my home
directory.
I'd like to have the Path= work if anyone has ideas?
