Description Denis Nelubin 2018-10-23 05:53:54 UTC

SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Run an Java application in any way: "java -jar jarfile.jar" in console, shellscript with "java -jar jarfile.jar" in it, .desktop file with "Exec=java -jar jarfile.jar" in ~/.local/share/applications launched from the main menu.
2. Pin the application in Latte dock.
3. Close the application.
4. Try to start it by clickin on the pinned icon in the dock.

OBSERVED RESULT
The application is not started.
The ~/.config/latte/*.layout.latte file contains in [Containments][38][Applets][43][Configuration][General] section, parameter launchers59 the string: "file:///usr/bin/java?iconData=..." which is not the correct command line for the application.

EXPECTED RESULT
The application is started with the correct command line used with the initial run (including shell script or desktop file).

Please report it to plasma taskmanager. Pin mechanism is not Latte responsibility but rather plasma libtaskmanager. You must be able to reproduce this with plasma taskmanagers

Confirm. The same issue appears when pinning a java app to a standard panel.

Please run "xprop" and click on on the java window.

Comment 6 Eike Hein 2018-10-25 09:34:32 UTC

Unless the .desktop file is named `RedmineTimeTracker.RedmineTimeTracker.desktop` or contains `StartupWMClass=RedmineTimeTracker.RedmineTimeTracker` it won't work - the good news being is that if this isn't the case, you can edit it yourself (and also inform the application maker).
