Title:
Unity Launcher does not accept inode/directory as mimetype
Status in Unity:
Confirmed
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
This bug is related to this question:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/340241/how-to-make-my-application-
accept-folders-from-unity-launcher/
A launcher seems to be unable to accept folder as argument from the unity
launcher if the .desktop file of it does not end with
"-nautilus.desktop". Specifically, the corresponding launcher of the .desktop
file does not light up when a folder is dragged, even if inode/directory is on
its MimeType.
I believe that any .desktop file that specifies inode/directory at its
MimeType should light up when a folder is dragged, and be able to
accept it as an argument, through the unity launcher.
Also, I believe that this is a bug because nautilus should have
nothing to do with it.
Wanting my application to accept folders from the unity launcher
shouldn't require me to rename my .desktop file for the sake of it.
Adding inode/directory to the MimeType should be enough.
