SUMMARY as reported at: https://github.com/psifidotos/applet-window-title/issues/28 sxiv is an image viewer, its desktop file is called sxiv.desktop but in order for the plasma libtaskmanager to detect its appName properly it needs in the desktop file: StartupWMClass=sxiv I am reporting this because I thought that for desktop files that StartupWMClass is not present the desktop filename is used instead. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. execute: sxiv "icon-file" 2. notice the appName in the taskmanager e.g. at previews, it is empty EXPECTED RESULT appName should be sxiv
It seems the DesktopEntryName and Name are only checked when there is a mapping rule, which there is not: > // Try matching mapped name against DesktopEntryName. > if (!mapped.isEmpty() && services.isEmpty()) { Most of the time TM finds a task because of the PID, covering this (bug? oversight?), but since sxiv doesn't have a PID property on its windows, we fail to find any service for it. The other code related to DesktopEntryName further down explicitly disregards sxiv.desktop: > if (!service->desktopEntryName().endsWith("." + appId)) { > it.remove();
