Description JenyaYQ 2013-02-28 23:45:07 UTC

Noticed something about the wolf.
  Amarok has a %U option in application menu settings, which apparently causes it to contemplate about infinitely complex matters whenever you try launch it by clicking on the icon.
This is easily fixed by removing %U in the menu editor..... also launching from the status icon panel doesn't have this issue.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1 start Amarok from launcher and wait........  
2 go to 1

Which is completely normal, as %U makes it wait for an URL that never comes. No idea what added this option, it just shouldn't be there. This is probably an error in either your distribution or in the KMenu. That option makes sense for a browser, but certainly not for Amarok :)

Thank you Myriam, I forwarded your message to the devs of my distro.

@Myriam: Not entirely true, Amarok ships this desktop file and it's still in master: http://quickgit.kde.org/?p=amarok.git&a=blob&h=4fe72c0d96111f2bd8bdea3e12622e09320ad31c&hb=5c691f36036d93a67223f9378f513bbbc44a79f8&f=src%2Famarok.desktop
I can fix it tomorow, if nobody knows states that it should stay be there.

I think I've fixed it by removing %U from amarok.desktop.  Can I push it in ?
