Pinned google chrome when running. Selecting icon to launch causes dialog box to appear offering to "Open with". Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Launch google chrome from menu. 2. Right-click on chrome icon and select "Show A Launcher When Not Running" 3. Close google chrome. 4. Click on chrome icon to launch. Actual Results: Dialog box appears to "Open With" Expected Results: Google chrome should launch.
The same happens here on kubuntu 13.10 with google chrome beta Version 32.0.1700.19 beta
ohh and Qt: 4.8.4 KDE: 4.11.2 x86_64 it happens also with the "icon-tasks" launcher
confirmed, for whatever reason the url associated with the shortcut ends up being just: file:/// instead of something expected like file:///usr/local/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop?wmClass=Google-chrome-stable
Workaround -------------------------------- First un-check the "Show a launcher when not running" for chrome, if checked. Open chrome and right click the icon task manager widget -> "Icon-only Task Manager Settings"->"Launcher Matching Rules"-> "Add" -> "Detect Window Properties" select the chrome window. In the launcher select chrome application under internet category and press ok. Check the "Show a launcher when not running" for chrome application.
Grigoriadis, Your workaround works for the icon-only task manager, but not for the regular task manager since there is no "Launcher Matching Rules" option. Any workarounds for that?
Nevermind, I found a workaround here: https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=67&t=118633#p297598
This seems to work with Plasma 5. I think this bug can be closed.
confirmed fixed here too, closing
