Description oneforall 2009-04-05 15:31:26 UTC

Version:           4.2.68-r945504 (using Devel)
Compiler:          gcc4.3.3 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Hi 

From user it works fine , But from root when you pick the apps you want after scan, then continue. It will create the directories  off of / 
these are:
Development/  Editors/ Graphics/ internet/ Multimedia/ etc 
Do not preach about using root :) Fact is its  a bit broken.
I was just testing a dvd and 4.2.68 in kvm so i really didn't care if I was in root. Its also with 4.2.1 too. 
lemma on freenode tried it also ans same problem


Take care

hi again 
 From user it doesn't great those dir over at /  . But its broken because it doesn't create them at all. kappfinder ,does find the 41 apps and says it added them to the menu, But it doesn't and doesn't even create the directories.

Same on Kubuntu 9.10 with KDE4.3.3 and Mandriva 2010.0 stock install.

Comment 4 Keren Sky 2009-11-12 03:16:41 UTC

I can confirm this on Debian Squeeze and on Fedora 11 and Fedora 12. In both cases I was fully updated. I'm going to try again with FreeBSD, so I should be able to report from there too.

hi 
This is still broken in 4.3.95 too.
I found that diong from konsole kappfinder --dir ~/.kde/share/applnk it adds them but the icons are all ? and I just can't get xmms xmms-queue to be added . Afte it ends up in the lost and found I can't even get it to show when i click the scan button. There are 2 other app now that end up in lost and found too.

SVN commit 1092327 by darioandres:

- Fix a Qt4 porting bug QString::isNull -> QString::isEmpty
  - The default destination path is now honored and the .desktop files are created.
  (it was previously trying to create them on /Category/SubCategory/App; which was not working
  for non-root users)
