Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: alacarte
This bug affects both Feisty and Gutsy and is reproducible.
When editing a application launcher that was incorrectly added during a
Wine installation alacarte didn't edit both file affected.
This file was correctly changed with alacarte.
.local/share/applications/wine-Programs-MEDITECH-Workstation\ 3.desktop
This file was NOT changed with alacarte.
.local/share/applications/wine/Programs/MEDITECH/Workstation 3.desktop
The second file is the one that appears in "main menu > Applications >
Wine > Programs > MEDITECH"
Alacarte should update the new path when the application launcher is
edited.
Reproduction.
Install application "wine setup.exe"
Click on menu "Application > Wine > Programs > MEDITECH > Workstation 3"
Error "Path not found"
Open alacarte and correct the the application path.
Click on menu "Application > Wine > Programs > MEDITECH > Workstation 3"
Error "Path not found"
To correct the error, edit the following file with a text editor
.local/share/applications/wine/Programs/MEDITECH/Workstation 3.desktop
Just a note: I believe the application path was incorrectly generated in
the first place because it's a legacy 16 bit proprietary telnet client.
This app is poorly hacked on Windows. It's not surprising to find
problems with it in Ubuntu.
Please advise me if I need to file additional bugs with the wine or
gnome teams. I filed this bug because the editing process is handled by
alacarte. If I can be of further assistance let me know.
