Bug 100054 – digikam gnome menu issues - .desktop file and icon required

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM

[Description Rhys Hardwick 2005-07-23 12:03:36 UTC]

A digikam.desktop files needs to be created, and I recommend removing the
showfoto.desktop file.  Also, a symlink of the icon to /usr/share/pixmaps is
recommended.

An example of my file is..
=====
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Icon=digikam.png
Name=DigiKam
Comment=DigiKam Photo Organiser
Exec=digikam
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Appication;Graphics;
===

My symlink is :
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 52 Jul 23 17:32 digikam.png ->
/usr/share/icons/crystalsvg/128x128/apps/digikam.png


Reproducible: Always

It's there: /usr/share/applnk/Graphics/digikam.desktop, the showfoto entry is fine. 

kde-config --path apps 

and 

kde-config --path icon

add the relevant kde search paths - they remain valid for KDE 3.x, no matter who
is crying freedesktop.org standard. I don't see the point playing the slave
here, since this affects a whole lot of KDE apps. See also Bug 89870 for Gnome
hijacking the desktop.

[Comment 2 Rhys Hardwick 2005-07-24 13:29:28 UTC]

For gnome, the desktop files must exist in /usr/share/applications.  Icons,
AFAIK, need to be in /usr/share/pixmaps.

This is what needs sorting out.

passing to digikam herd.

Comment #1 & #3 combined would give a proper file location/.desktop .

[Comment 4 Gregorio Guidi (RETIRED) 2005-07-25 04:52:37 UTC]

The best thing to do is to ask the authors to move the .desktop file 
to /usr/share/applications and the icon to /usr/share/icons/hicolor (see also 
bug 81862 for an example). 
It's a trivial task, the digikam devs just need to be informed (btw see also
