OK, I've edited the deja-dup desktop file to include a quicklist to allow access to the preferences, and ALSO displays the progress bar whilst running. [code] mkdir ~/.local/share/applications cp /usr/share/applications/deja-dup.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/ cd ~/.local/share/applications/ gedit deja-dup.desktop [/code] Add the following to the bottom of the file & save. NB save it as deja-dup.desktop, DO NOT change the name or the progress bar will not be painted onto the icon [code] X-Ayatana-Desktop-Shortcuts=Preferences;
[Preferences Shortcut Group] Name=Backup-Preferences Comment==Change your backup settings Exec=deja-dup-preferences TargetEnvironment=Unity StartupNotify=true Type=Application Categories=GNOME;GTK;System;Archiving;Utility;Settings;X-GNOME-SystemSettings; NotShowIn=GNOME;Unity; [/code] Lock this file to the launcher, i.e. drag the file from a nautilus instance onto the launcher bar. This seems to work, it is just a pity that the deja-dup pulled up by the dash doesn't also have the progress bar. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/972194 Title: deja-dup does not display progress bar in unity launcher icon To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/972194/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
