Ok I don't have read the code to know how exactly works internally but what I see (and my experience) is that:
When you drag an icon to your bar, it creates a entire new .desktop file to your .local directory with totally new values, some set by the user and some "automatic", but most of times they simply doesn't works (bad values), I have see a lot of different cases, most of them are applications that doesn't launch, applications that can't be added (when inserted to the bar, nothing appears), wrong/null icon, etc... My thoughts are: if there's already an existing .desktop file, original, good-made, with the correct data on it, with full of translations, with the correct executable and parameters... why WTF we are going to change them to something from scratch, bad-auto-detected, and mostly-wrong ?, could be interesting that the user will modify manually some values, that YES... but only the ones modified by him! and the rest will remain untouched. Like I say, this gives a lot of problems (just try to drag-n-drop a bunch of 10-20 applications to your bar and check all of them (icon image that not works as before, lost translations, wrong executable command set, wrong parameters of the executable, wmclass changed, error-prone values, big etc...) There's also two reports by me from long time ago: http://trac.enlightenment.org/e/ticket/365 http://trac.enlightenment.org/e/ticket/357 Thanatermesis ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
