Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-panel
I had quite a bad user experience today. I've tried to create a simple launcher for Chromium with a command line that included $HOME environment variable [1] and it was not expanded. To my surprise I've found the '$HOME' directory instead spelled with the $ inside. Now I have to use bash -c "command $HOME" command line, but it is not consistent with how would you _as a user_ expect the launcher to behave. As a side note I'd also like to see the flag in launcher properties for executing program in terminal to control console messages. 1. http://code.google.com/p/nativeclient- sdk/wiki/HowTo_RunModules#Step_2:_Launch_the_browser_with_--enable-nacl ** Affects: gnome-panel (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-panel in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/704821 Title: launchers don't expand environment variables -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
