The way Cantata is using Jump List Actions is not what they're designed for, they aren't dynamic, so they cannot represent Play vs Pause or disable Back/Forward. It should instead hide its entries by adding NotShowIn=KDE to the actions to hide them. I explicitly added this to Task Manager for precisely this case even though it's not specifically mentioned in the Additional application actions spec. Please file a bug report against Cantata instead. |
Created attachment 111322 [details] double entries in cantata (music player) context menu If a media player defines actions in its .desktop file, they are shown in the context menu in the task manager. However, media players might do this because most environments don't auto-add entries based on mpris, so you end up with duplicate entries for common actions like play/pause, stop, previous and next track. The best solution would be to make this conditional, however, this might be hard to implement. A easier solution would be to have a .desktop entry which allows developers to disable mpris (or other automatically) added entries and only use their own.
