Bug 77204 – totem-0.100 doesn't install .desktop file properly

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description stefan.ihringer 2005-01-09 01:18:04 UTC]

I've updated to totem 0.100 but since then no video file is associated with it anymore. The Totem icon is gone from the applications menu as well. This seems to be due to the fact that totem's .desktop file isn't installed properly. There's just a file called "totem.desktop.in.in" in /usr/share/applications with the following contents:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
_Name=Totem Movie Player
_Comment=Play movies and songs
Exec=totem %u
Icon=media-player-48.png
Terminal=false

Sorry foser, I'm not a dev... just "Joe User" :-)
