Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.6) Installed from: Mandriva RPMs OS: Linux Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Create a "link to application" .desktop file, ie right-click anywhere on the desktop, choose "Create New" > "Link to Application..." 2. In Application tab, use ksystraycmd in the Command field. Eg ksystraycmd kwrite 3. Validate the setup. 4. Right-click the file and choose to see its properties. The word "ksystraycmd" would disappear from the Command field. In our example, only the word "kwrite" remains! But if we open the .desktop file in a text editor, we could see that "ksystraycmd" is still there, but it's hidden by properties window. Is this a bug or a feature? If it's a feature, why? It's very annoying. The first time I use ksystraycmd, I thought I had made mistake by forgetting to type ksystraycmd, but after a few tries, I was convinced that the problem didn't come from me!
This is an intended feature. It hiddens the "ksystraycmd" command but it enables the option "Place in SystemTray" in the Advanced settings of the shortcut
Yes, I saw this as well a year ago. But then the command becomes very odd when we need to specify ksystraycmd options, eg --hidden. The Command field would become "--hidden kwrite". Very odd.
Yes, that behaviour needs polishing. Reopening
Moving from "kio/kfile" component to "kfile" product, helps sorting out duplicates.
Still an issue in KDE SC 4.10.1
ksystraycmd seems to be no more.
