[Bug 288430] Re: gnome panel after copy changes to one icon affect the other
err!!! I wish i can edit my comment. was it my writting this bad or something get truncated in the forum. in any case i meant to say: if i were to create the two firefox-icons on the desktop instead of on the top panel, those icons retain the correct properties after a reboot. but on the top panel the two icons/launcher would be exactly identical. -- gnome panel after copy changes to one icon affect the other https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/288430 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

the bug description is not clear, not confirming the issue on intrepid, there is no reason the system launcher should change when doing an user copy somewhere -- gnome panel after copy changes to one icon affect the other https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/288430 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 288430] Re: gnome panel after copy changes to one icon affect the other
How can I possibly make this clearer?! I'll try again! It is possible to create two icons on the panel which have the property that when one of them is changed (such as by changing the command it executes) the other will also change (after a reboot). How to reproduce. - Install Intrepid (Beta), or Hardy. - use control-click-drag to copy the original firefox icon into a neighboring position on the panel, thereby creating a copy of it. - right click on the NEW icon and select properties. - Edit the command line in properties (such as by adding --no-remote -P profile2) - reboot - the original icon will now execute the modified command The same procedure can be used to change the icon picture of the original firefox icon by modifying the copies icon picture. -- gnome panel after copy changes to one icon affect the other https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/288430 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

oh, you copy a launcher and not a menu item, that's not a bug, the copy is not a copy but a symlink to the other launcher ** Changed in: gnome-panel (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Invalid -- gnome panel after copy changes to one icon affect the other https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/288430 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 288430] Re: gnome panel after copy changes to one icon affect the other
Ok, if that is the expected behaviour (I I don't think it should be, as it is very counter intuitive) than how come the behaviour changes if I copy the copy? - Install Intrepid (Beta), or Hardy. - use control-click-drag to copy the original firefox icon into a neighboring position on the panel, thereby creating a copy of it. - use control-click-drag to copy the copy of the icon into a neighboring position, thereby creating a second copy. - right click on the FIRST COPY's icon and select properties. - Edit the command line in properties (such as by adding --no-remote -P profile2) - right click on the SECOND COPY's icon and select properties. - Edit the command line in properties (such as by adding --no-remote -P profile3) - reboot - the original icon will now execute the FIRST COPY's command, the SECOND COPY will execute the correct command. This is inconsistent behaviour. -- gnome panel after copy changes to one icon affect the other https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/288430 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 288430] Re: gnome panel after copy changes to one icon affect the other
Sorry I didn't make myself clear. A similar procedure is able to make the icon change as well. The problem is clearly that the icons are sharing the same data. They are identical after a reboot, and are both the same as the last change that was made to either one. I've personally done it with the icon picture and command settings, but I assume it also works with title and comment. Again, I've only seen this when copying the original firefox icon after a fresh install. -- gnome panel after copy changes to one icon affect the other https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/288430 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

not confirming the bug on intrepid, why would any icon change when editing the command? ** Changed in: gnome-panel (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Low Assignee: (unassigned) = Ubuntu Desktop Bugs (desktop-bugs) Status: New = Incomplete -- gnome panel after copy changes to one icon affect the other https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/288430 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
