[Bug 702452] Re: [launcher] Wine applications are wrongly matched
I'm still (slowly) working on this. I considered putting the exe filename in StartupWMClass, but I chose to wait for the following reasons: * We would still have the general Wine Windows Program Loader launcher with its StartupWMClass of Wine. Will BAMF have any way to know that the other launchers take precedence, or will the icon that appears be essentially random? If we removed StartupWMClass from Wine Windows Program Loader, it would break startup notification for our association. * We do not yet have the ability to distinguish launchers that should show up in docks (e.g. Mozilla Firefox) and secondary launchers that shouldn't (e.g. Mozilla Firefox (Safe Mode)). So for an application with multiple launchers, it would be random which one shows up in docks. There's a way for installers to mark shortcuts on Windows that shouldn't show up in docks, using the lnk's property store, but that feature isn't implemented yet in Wine. * We don't know whether the application intends to map a window from the .exe that the launcher directly starts, so we would technically be in violation of the startup notification spec. Once we have lnk property stores, we'll know this at least as well as Windows does, and we can legitimately say it's an application bug when a shortcut points to an exe that doesn't map a window, without telling us that it won't. I don't have any way to fix point 1 short of directly telling BAMF which windows belong to which launchers (which we will have to do eventually for full compatibility with Windows, but that will take much longer than fixing points 2 and 3), -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/702452 Title: [launcher] Wine applications are wrongly matched To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bamf/+bug/702452/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 702452] Re: [launcher] Wine applications are wrongly matched
I have a an additional but related problem in 12.04. Even when a program displays the correct icon when you start it one can not permanently hold it in the Launcher. It will stay until one does a restart but after that it has disappeared. The problem is only present when the launchers are in a subfolder of ~/.local/share/applications as are most wine applications which are in subfolders of ~/.local/share/applications/wine . The workround is to copy or move them to ~/.local/share/applications The proceedure in my posting #10 above then seems to work for all the programs I have tested. Picasa (which is started by a script) is slightly different and needs the one to copy the picasa.desktop file from /usr/share/applications to ~/.local/share/applications and add the line StartupWMClass=Wine to the bottom of it to prevent it showing up as a Wine Launcher in the Unity Launcher - another little mystery! I added the line with a space at the begining to prevent the script in comment #10 commenting it out again.

[Bug 702452] Re: [launcher] Wine applications are wrongly matched
A bit of extra information for 12.04. Even when everything seems to work fine from the unity launcher you do not always get the correct matching if you start from a file which is associated with the program. ie if I right click on a .jpg file and open it with Paintshop Pro if turns up in the Launcher as Picasa or with a Wine Icon depending on which machine I am using. I have tried defining a different StartupWMClass= for each program (as per #16) and placing them in~/.local/share/applications but even that still does not always give the correct behavior for starting a Wine program from an association. It is time we got this sorted out, it is nearly a year since my last postings and nothing really seems to have changed - one can not expect new users to have to modify files and run scripts to get close to normal behavior.

I have the same issue.

Mh, the reason why it works is related to how BAMF uses the startupWMClass from .desktop files, however I'm wondering why no wine .desktop file in my system has that field.

[Bug 702452] Re: [launcher] Wine applications are wrongly matched
Trevino, Firstly I failed to say that the changes in post 10 only come into effect after a logout and login - it seems that Unity does some matching at startup. Also .desktop files on the Desktop are not included in this 'matching' and a StartupWMClass=Wine in them have no effect when run. All of my .desktop files were created a long time ago by earlier versions of wine and all had the line - I used a command similar to the one above to find and grep for them before (and after) making the changes. Typical files before changes were: [Desktop Entry] Name=Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004 Exec=env WINEPREFIX=/home/pcurtis/.wine wine C:\\Program Files\\Macromedia\\Dreamweaver MX 2004\\Dreamweaver.exe Type=Application StartupWMClass=Wine Path=/home/pcurtis/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/Macromedia/Dreamweaver MX 2004 Icon=9296_dreamweaver.0 [Desktop Entry] Name=IrfanView 3.95 Exec=env WINEPREFIX=/home/pcurtis/.wine wine C:\\Program Files\\IrfanView\\i_view32.exe Type=Application StartupWMClass=Wine Icon=8ec2_i_view32.0 As you can see they are legacy applications from when I made the transition to Ubuntu with 6.06 and the .desktop files would have been created by an install by a wine version of about 3 years ago as the machine started life with 8.04.1 and I have /home on a separate partition which I preserve regardless of the type of upgrade. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/702452 Title: [launcher] Wine applications are wrongly matched To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bamf/+bug/702452/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 702452] Re: [launcher] Wine applications are wrongly matched
I have been working a similar problem which I put into the system as
https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/799023 - now marked as a duplicate
of this bug.
I have found a workaround for the two machines I have available each
with several wine applications (Dreamweaver, PaintShop, Irfanview,
Notepad++ etc). The workaround is to comment out ALL the
StartupWMClass=Wine lines in the .desktop files in
~/.local/share/applications which is where wine installs them in a
series of subfolders.
The only exception is picasa which launches via a complex script file
and in this case the picasa.desktop file has to be copied from
/usr/share/applications to ~/.local/share/applications and the line
StartupWMClass=Wine appended to get it to associate correctly and not
show the wine icon as suggested by andypiper
A terminal command which follows should comment out all the lines
starting with StartupWMClass=Wine. Copy and paste as a single long line
and run from the home folder. It worked for me but I suggest backing up
at least ~/.local and preferably everything first!
find $HOME/.local/share/applications -name '*.desktop' -exec sed -i
's/^StartupWMClass=Wine/#StartupWMClass=Wine/' '{}' \;
I am not sure I understand why the workaround works but hope it will
give some more clues to those sorting out the problem and a short term
fix for others to try. I am using a MSI Wind U100 fully with a updated
11.04, unity3d and the latest wine from the wineHQ PPA

[Bug 702452] Re: [launcher] Wine applications are wrongly matched
I was just looking at this bug, and to the BAMF code related to this issue, and this is somewhat that is also related to the bug #692462 (also if here there's a little more complexity due to the fact that each .exe app needs the wine loader to be launched). To fix correctly these bug we should basically use the same strategy: if two windows have the same tuple (WM_CLASS res, WM_CLASS name), then they belongs to the same application (of course there could be some extra checks, but basically this can be considered valid here). In fact while a chromium app window has the WM_CLASS composed by the tuple (page_address, Chromium-browser), any window application has the WM_CLASS set by (process_launched.exe, Wine). So, if the first value of the WM_CLASS tuple, called wm_class resource, doesn't match, then we've a different application (= different unity icon). This is quite easy to do from our side (except solving some dbus inconsistencies). However, the main problem is that libwnck doesn't follow the ICCCM standard [1] correctly and so it exports just the WM_CLASS class (called res_class), but it doesn't export at all the res_name, that is the thing that would make differ, for example, two wine applications, from the X property point of view! That's one of the reasons, right now, why BAMF sees two wine applications like the same app. This libwnck issue was already reported years ago in the GNOME bugzilla (with patch), but wasn't ever applied [2]. So, now, to fix this bug I don't really know if it's the case to press the libwnck team to fix their bug, or if we should instead (waiting them) to provide a working alternative to retrieve correctly these WM_CLASS values (basically the class resource).

[Bug 702452] Re: [launcher] Wine applications are wrongly matched
Well, as a first test (I should do this for libwnck itself, soon) I've implemented the support for WM_CLASS resource parameter in BAMF (using directly XGetClassHint) and this works as expected for this case, and so it's possible to discern each wine application as a different application, without making them being considered a wine window. However the main issue here is matching a wine-application to its own .desktop file. In fact applications like uninstaller or winecfg have set the X hint _NET_WM_DESKTOP_FILE, which easily allow to retrieve their desktop file. But this is not possible for any other windows application. As you'd guess, it's also very hard to associate an application window to its own .desktop file. Consider for example 7-zip. Its wine desktop is: [Desktop Entry] Name=7-Zip File Manager Exec=env WINEPREFIX=/home/marco/.wine wine C:windowscommandstart.exe /Unix /home/marco/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/marco/Start\\ Menu/Programmi/7-Zip/7-Zip\\ File\\ Manager.lnk Type=Application StartupNotify=true Icon=/home/marco/.local/share/icons/02c4_7zfm.0.png Since these desktop files calls windows' .lnk files, its quite hard for us to check if the .lnk file is loading the .exe file we're currently running. It's feasible, but it would need to parse each .lnk file to see if it could match our .exe. In this case the desktop file name, the Name value and the .lnk file matches the application name too, but it's just a case, so I wouldn't consider them at all. The only possible workaround would be, I guess, to use the StartupWMClass hack in the wine desktop files, setting the exe WM_CLASS file as that value, but that can't be automatized by wine itself and there's no warranty that it would lead to a desktop file clash for similar applications. Finally, my first and simpler solution would be the one of making the wine applications just be matched via wm_class and as applications with no related .desktop file. This wouldn't allow to use them as launchers in the best way, but something could be improved hacking the .desktop file.

[Bug 702452] Re: [launcher] Wine applications are wrongly matched
I'm seeing this as well. My example app, that I'd like to sort out, is Picasa. I've added a StartupWMClass=Wine entry to the .desktop file I'm using to launch Picasa from the Unity Launcher, but it still doesn't match the resulting running Wine app. I wonder whether the solution that Docky implemented (see bug #596092) would help here? In the case of Picasa, it actually bundles its own Wine runtime and xprop shows WM_CLASS of Picasa3.exe Wine - and the running binary is called Picasa3.exe Integration of Wine apps in Unity is not great at the moment and it's fairly clear that the Wine folks are unlikely to make special efforts to help on the Unity side (see e.g. http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?p=60406) so the more that can be done in Ubuntu / Unity itself, the better. Little things like icon / window / application matching for the Launcher would go a long way as a starting point. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/702452 Title: [launcher] Wine applications are wrongly matched To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bamf/+bug/702452/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
