In my web application I created a toolbar in a frameset (it's not a public web-app) in which -- upon loading the application -- Gears creates a desktop shortcut to the offline login page for the web application.
Let's say the shortcut points to: http://localhost:8080/site/gears/login.html This all works wonderfully, except that when I'm offline, the appStore is not yet enabled. This means that Gears will not try to serve me the page from the Gears cache, but instead the browser cache. Question: Is there any way at all to enable the appStore from a desktop shortcut? Bonus question: Even though the desktop shortcut already exists, every time I visit my application, it asks me whether I want to create a shortcut. In the Gears Desktop documentation I have not seen a way to check for already existing shortcuts. How can I check for an existing desktop shortcut? Thanks for your time!
