[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 764321] Re: [FFe] Please add launcher quicklist for banshee

[Chow Loong Jin]

** Description changed:

- One of the things that has been bugging with Unity is the lack or quicklists for the default apps. Firefox has only a "New Window" quicklist and Banshee has no quicklists at all. Surely this quicklists can be added with editing the .desktop, but it would be way better if they come by default. So what I did is that I edited the .desktop files for firefox and banshee and added "Open a New Tab" for Firefox and "Play", "Pause", "Stop", "Previous" and "next" for Banshee. Check the .desktop files attached. I know it is not a lot actions I've added but I am planing to add more today. The .desktop files have been tested on Natty installation and they work.
- _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- EDIT: The bug is now for Banshee missing quicklists, because there is already a bug for Firefox: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/741046
- I updated the patch with Bulgarian localization and also added prefences option for the quicklist. Use the file "Banshee-only.tar.gz".
- P.S. Screenshots included in the file ;)
+ Banshee does not have quicklist actions in Unity. The linked patch in
+ comment #13 (attached in the upstream bug) is a preliminary patch
+ towards resolving this issue, and will probably be the final patch
+ assuming that the current set of quicklist actions added by the patch is
+ acked and finalized.
+ 
+ For now, the list is:-
+ * Play
+ * Pause
+ * Stop
+ * Previous
+ * Next
+ * Preferences.
+ 
+ Play and Pause should probably be merged into Play/Pause using the
+ banshee --playpause option, as only one of those options is relevant at
+ any point in time.
+ 
+ And do we need Preferences? Perhaps that should be just dropped from the
+ quicklist outright.
