brainwash | elfy: hey, do you think it would help to activate descriptions in whisker menu? this way every launcher would display its Comment= parameter | 12:37 |
brainwash | would also solve bug 1396804 | 12:38 |
ubottu | bug 1396804 in thunar (Ubuntu) "Name For Thunar Settings Launcher Is Unclear (thunar-settings.desktop)" [Low,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1396804 | 12:38 |
brainwash | or are the additional comments an annoyance for the average user? | 12:39 |
brainwash | comments/descriptions | 12:40 |
knome | they are very random and eat up a lot of space. it'd also mean we'd use larger icons. those are few of the reasons they are hidden | 12:50 |
brainwash | they do add some bloat. I've enabled the descriptions and after some time I did not mind the extra text anymore | 12:52 |
brainwash | larger icons are always nice :) | 12:52 |
jjfrv8 | bluesabre, elfy, abiword 3.0.1 looks good from here. | 13:16 |
knome | brainwash, subjective... | 13:19 |
brainwash | knome: it is. just trying to figure out what's best for the average user | 13:20 |
knome | well for the bug you mentioned, i don't think adding the descriptions would be what the OP wanted... just a workaround | 13:20 |
knome | it should be fixed in some other way (maybe a different icon or sth) | 13:21 |
brainwash | he wants to distinguish the two launchers, and by making the description visible he will be able to | 13:22 |
knome | brainwash, sure... but if he doesn't want to show the descriptions, then it's just a workaround | 13:22 |
knome | and i can empathise that very much, it's a problem with the .desktop files, not the configuration | 13:23 |
bluesabre | jjfrv8: did you have any issues with the prior version? | 13:23 |
jjfrv8 | bluesabre, I was the one who found the bug. By running the testcase :) | 13:25 |
brainwash | knome: but we cannot rename the desktop files | 13:25 |
knome | brainwash, "cannot" is a bit wrong, but i understand what you are saying... we can probably use another icon for the settings though | 13:26 |
jjfrv8 | bluesabre, and yes, the bug was still there just prior to running your update this morning. | 13:26 |
brainwash | knome: another icon.. yeah, this could work | 13:28 |
brainwash | knome: basically a folder icon with a little cog wheel | 13:29 |
knome | yep | 13:30 |
brainwash | this new icon would also show up in the settings manager, but that's fine I guess | 13:31 |
brainwash | so we could forward this change upstream | 13:31 |
knome | yes, that's fair | 13:31 |
brainwash | in case such an icon already exists (freedesktop standard) | 13:32 |
brainwash | I assume so | 13:32 |
knome | or we can draw one | 13:33 |
bluesabre | jjfrv8: great! | 13:33 |
jjfrv8 | elfy, for tracking purposes, which do you prefer: editing the existing testcase result and changing it from Failed to Passed, or creating a new one with an appropriate comment? | 13:41 |
elfy | jjfrv8: related to what? package or ... | 15:05 |
jjfrv8 | elfy, the package testcases | 15:08 |
elfy | be best to just report again I would think | 15:09 |
elfy | is this abiword? | 15:09 |
jjfrv8 | yes, and that's what I did. Re-ran the testcase and filed a new result. | 15:10 |
elfy | awesome - thanks jjfrv8 :) | 15:10 |
jjfrv8 | welcome | 15:10 |
knome | bbl | 15:18 |
