Right. We could also simply do one-time MP:s for all QML-only apps to switch to the new wrapper name, but then the name should be really good so that we can keep it :) Since we are using .desktop files at the moment, we would need something executable specified on the "Exec" line anyway, were it 'qmlscene', 'uqmlscene' or 'ubuntu-app-launch', and not just the .qml file name. I'm not sure if the plan is to keep continuing to use .desktop files forever or not? -Timo -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
