| Summary | 0007967: Cannot pin desktop entry into KDE taskbars | ||||
| Description | This is a very simple issue with the application launcher. Ardour .desktop file point to /usr/bin/ardour5 which is a shell script, so then the target process name (the one displaying GUI) is different. When using default KDE Plasma taskbar or Latte Dock, there's no way to pin that app to the bar so it acts like all apps. This may affect other taskbars as well. I solved that on my machine by adding following lines to /usr/share/applications/ardour.desktop (or to copy of that file in ~/.local/share/applications/): StartupWMClass=ardour_ardour ardour StartupWMClass=ardour-5.12.0 I already reported a bug to Arch Linux bugtracker https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/65144 The package maintainer sent me here, though. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | 1. Use KDE Plasma taskbar with icons or Latte Dock 2. Pin to the bar using right click on icon or drag the icon from menu 3. It will either create icon that doesn't work at all, or working activator that is not connected to the opened application window. | ||||
| Additional Information | Package name: community/ardour 5.12-13 (pro-audio) | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

Is this a bug report for the Arch package of Ardour, or for the binary package from ardour.org, or a self-build followed by ./waf install ? |
|
|
I honestly don't know. Arch Linux package maintainer said it's the "upstream" package that contains the .desktop file. Isn't the .desktop file suppose to reside in the source package? |
|
|
And yes, to be precise I just installed Ardour from the official repository of Arch. |
|
|
We don't support distribution builds. If the maintainer wants to point at a particular issue with our code that makes it hard for them to get it right, we'll listen. But we do not and cannot support distro builds. |
|
|
Reportong such a bug makes no sense then. Please close it and let's just forget it. I see something might have changed in KDE Plasma and now it actually works fine without the StartupWMClass entry. |
