This bug has been reported 9 months ago, and the bug itself has been around much longer. Why isn't this fixed?
As a problem scenario, I might have installed Xara Xpress 4 through the default wine configuration (~/.wine), and then decided to move this directory afterwards (because I want to keep the installs clean and separate). I place all my different wine installs into /local/apps, i.e. /local/apps/Photoshop, /local/apps/Cæsar3, etc. The only change I really need to do to make it work, is to update the launcher in the Gnome menu, but as we all know, this does not work! Only one of the two files gets updated, as seen below: (All files relative to ~/.local/share/applications/) wine-Programmer-Xara-Xara\ Xtreme\ Pro\ 4\ Trial-Xara\ Xtreme\ Pro\ 4\ Trial.desktop ------------------------------------------------------------ [Desktop Entry] Name=Xara Xtreme Pro 4 Trial Exec=env WINEPREFIX="/local/apps/XaraXpress/" wine "C:\\Programfiler\\Xara\\Xara Xtreme Pro 4\\Xtreme.exe" Type=Application StartupWMClass=Wine Path=/local/data/carl-erik/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Programfiler/Xara/Xara Xtreme Pro 4 Icon=29ab_xtreme.0 Name[nb_NO]=Xara Xtreme Pro 4 Trial Icon[nb_NO]=29ab_xtreme.0 Terminal=false wine/Programmer/Xara/Xara\ Xtreme\ Pro\ 4\ Trial/Xara\ Xtreme\ Pro\ 4\ Trial.desktop --------------------------------------------------------------- [Desktop Entry] Name=Xara Xtreme Pro 4 Trial Exec=env WINEPREFIX="/local/data/carl-erik/.wine" wine "C:\\Programfiler\\Xara\\Xara Xtreme Pro 4\\Xtreme.exe" Type=Application StartupWMClass=Wine Path=/local/data/carl-erik/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Programfiler/Xara/Xara Xtreme Pro 4 Icon=29ab_xtreme.0 As you can see, only the first file gets the WINEPREFIX changed to /local/apps/XaraXtreme -- Alacarte menu changes do not change applications menu item. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/148565 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
