Bug ID: 412441
Summary: Make creating launcher icons for executables a simple
DND operation
Product: plasmashell
Version: master
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: Icons-only Task Manager
Assignee: h...@kde.org
Reporter: rula...@wp.pl
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
When you have an executable program in a directory (e.g. a portable version of
a program, one that can be launched directly from wherever the zip is
extracted), creating an Icons-only Task Manager icon for launching this program
should be a super-simple DnD operation. Currently it is not.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have the Icons-only Task Manager on your panel
2. Download and extract portable GeoGebra Classic 6
https://download.geogebra.org/package/linux-port6
3. Open the extracted directory in dolphin
4. Try dragging the executable onto Icons-only Task Manager
OBSERVED RESULT
Either nothing happens, or the program whose icon was under mouse when the LMB
was released is executed with the file:// URL of the dragged-and-dropped binary
passed as a parameter.
EXPECTED RESULT
The icon to launch the program should be added to Icon Task Bar.
