Description Nicolás Adamo 2018-09-30 20:04:17 UTC
SUMMARY

Related to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50314 but to a different application.

It would be useful to have a command line to launch the application playing immediately. This is available in Amarok through "amarok -p", and makes available to start alarms through KAlarm.

So far the only available options are:

$ elisa --help
Usage: elisa [options]
A Simple Music Player written with KDE Frameworks

Options:
  -h, --help                 Displays this help.
  -v, --version              Displays version information.
  --author                   Show author information.
  --license                  Show license information.
  --desktopfile <file name>  The base file name of the desktop entry for this
                             application.
$ man elisa
No manual entry for elisa

Regards,

Nicolás Adamo

Thanks for the report.

I was not sure what to do with this.

I am collecting a lot of new features and plan to add them as junior jobs open for new contributors. This one will be a part of that.

Thank you for the bug report. Unfortunately we were not able to get to it yet. Can we ask you to please check if this is still an issue with either Plasma 5.27.11 (the current LTS version) or Plasma 6.1.0 (the latest released version). 

Greetings

Daniel

Bad news here as of 23-Jun-2024... To see if there's such a modifier "-p" for the command line like there is in strawberry or amarok, I tried first "--help" and got this:
$ elisa --help
elisa: error while loading shared libraries: libvlc.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Then I tried launching it from the plasma / kde start menu and got this:
Launching Elisa (Failed)
Could not activate remote peer 'org.kde.elisa': unit failed
