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.
whoops s/great/create
Same on Kubuntu 9.10 with KDE4.3.3 and Mandriva 2010.0 stock install.
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.
