Version: (using KDE 4.2.96) Installed from: SuSE RPMs A desktop icon created by drag'n'dropping an URL to the desktop shows only 'http' or a filename as name and isn't editable. How to reproduce: Case A: → Open a webbrowser (e.g. Konqueror) → Go to a website (e.g. http://kde.org) → Drag'n'drop the favicon from the addressbar to the desktop → The desktop icon's name is only 'http' Case B: → Open a webbrowser (e.g. Konqueror) → Go to a website (e.g. http://kde.org) → Click on an internal link on this site (e.g. Sitemap) → Drag'n'drop the favicon from the addressbar to the desktop → The desktop icon's name is only 'family' (as in http://kde.org/family where the 'Sitemap' link points to) Expected result: A desktop icon which name is http://kde.org (Case A) or http://kde.org/family (Case B) Furthermore it isn't possible editing the name of the desktop icon in any way: Case A: → The properties dialog doesn't show any text input fields to change the name Case B: → The properties dialog shows a text input field, but it's content isn't editable
SVN commit 1065548 by beatwolf: partial fix for 199811, case A has been solved CCBUG:199811 M +6 -3 icon.cpp WebSVN link: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=1065548
i don't know if i am right bug Case A seems valid, for ex if my url is http://www2.mandriva.com/downloads/ the icon will be called downloads
forget comment #2 is ok now ( i must have wrongly tested )
for B it have not created a .desktop for me but copied the webpage on the desktop
for case B we have to see when when link and when we copy. When we link it works OK for me, when we copy if the URL is http://kde.org/workspaces/ the icon have "workspaces" as name
This still happens with 4.5.3. While it is a nice feature to just drag a favicon onto the desktop, it's not very useful now, when the name does not tell me what the URL of this link actually is. If only I could edit it, but this is not possible, probably not even by manipulating the plasma-desktop-appletsrc file directly. Here is an entry for my online banking URL: [Containments][47][Applets][134] geometry=168,443,93,72 immutability=1 plugin=icon zvalue=0 [Containments][47][Applets][134][Configuration] Url=https://bankingportal.sparkasse-koelnbonn.de/portal/portal/Starten So there isn't even a name I could change. Or could one add something like 'name="Online Banking"'? Oh, and another thing: The icon (the white one showing a blue glob) first had the favicon added to the top right, but after a restart that is gone, I only see the icon. And the name 'Starten' is the only thing telling me this is the access for my banking account. That's not very intuitive :)
