Hi there!
Yesterday, Imobach suggested collecting the reported bugs related to
changes done recently in the desktop files[1] to document the
implications to bear in mind next time that they need to be changed.
It looks to be a good idea, thus I'm asking for help to do it. At the
moment, we have located the followings
* Inferring correct module name in AutoYaST:
https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1140233
* Confusion about using the right module name:
https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1138144
https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1140339
* "Missing" desktop translations:
https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1145197
* Changes the user experience in Gnome search (for both, better and
worst):
https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1144952
* Wrong references in yast2-schema:
http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1144894
Wow, that's a lot of bugs, sorry for the trouble! I am planning a
change that will hopefully improve the desktop files translation
issues, but I'm quite busy and don't know when I will be able to work on
that. The proposal was to include translations inside the desktop files,
which would be included there during build process by rake build system.
There is one more change I would like to make, for the sake of improving
the desktop experience, which unfortunetely requires all the module
desktop files to be moved out of the /usr/share/applications/YaST2
folder. As you can imagine, it's a real pain, because it requires
ycc and y2 ncurses list to scan the entire /usr/share/applications
directory for yast modules. That's on the backburner mainly because I
want to do both that and using xdg menu spec for yast groups instead of
using desktop files in /usr/share/applications/YaST2/groups. You can see
how that would work in https://github.com/yast/yast-yast2/pull/936
The change this would allow to make would eliminate the need to set the
icons and application titles (not to be confused with window titles) for
YaST with libyui-qt entirely, because they would be set by the wm from
the
desktop file and they would be set according to WM's needs, which means
they
would be at the correct resolution as the DE requires. Currently
libyui-qt
chooses the highest resolution icon possible, which doesn't look the
best
when downscaled by the DE. This would also allow DEs to group yast
windows
together depending on the module.
Nevertheless, sorry for the trouble those changes caused you already,
and
keep up the good work!
