KDE does detect it and any KDE app would be able to access this data, so if fspot was a KDE application all this would work perfectly fine. But since fspot is a GNOME app it apparently relies on GIO to read the desktop-file database, which is not present, because KDE doesn't create or update that file since it is not even mentioned in any fd.o spec.
You have to get a different point of view on the issue: it's not about a GNOME app in KDE, it is about a GNOME app in an environment without desktop-file-utils, competely unrelated to KDE. -- No applications available for photo editing if Gnome is not installed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/236602 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to f-spot in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
