Thread: Adding Gimp 2.8 to Unity is misbehaving...

-

i installed gimp 2.6.12 default repository, , compiled gimp-2.8.0 /opt/gimp/gimp-2.8.0 launcher looks in /usr/local/bin/gimp-2.8

#!/bin/sh
export ld_library_path=/opt/gimp/gimp-2.8.0/lib/
/opt/gimp/gimp-2.8.0/bin/gimp

far good. can run command line, , icon in unity. went /usr/share/applications, , modified gimp.desktop point new 2.8 version. can search dash, , start there. far good.

but, when right click gimp icon , choose 'lock launcher', quite gimp. not work launcher. not that. if start terminal, start fine, not show in launcher, nor in alt-tab.

i'm bit stumped @ this. there way fix this.

p.s. gimp 2.6.12 works fine, if leave gimp.desktop unchanged...but rather use gimp 2.8.

when built 2.8 here month ago, (not on new install) didn't need use script export & launch.

in case simple create .desktop just 2.8 though use script if need on exec=, if see note

sure need launch script?
anyway laid out basic here

.desktop i'll repeat here, though used different exec=, tryexec= red, show in script
code:
gedit ~/.local/share/applications/gimp2.desktop
code:
[desktop entry] version=1.0 type=application name=gimp 2.8 comment=create images , edit photographs exec=/opt/gimp-2.8/bin/gimp-2.8 %u tryexec=/opt/gimp-2.8/bin/gimp-2.8 icon=gimp terminal=false categories=graphics;2dgraphics;rastergraphics;gtk; x-gnome-bugzilla-bugzilla=gnome x-gnome-bugzilla-product=gimp x-gnome-bugzilla-component=general x-gnome-bugzilla-version=2.8.0 x-gnome-bugzilla-otherbinaries=gimp-2.8 mimetype=application/postscript;application/pdf;image/bmp;image/g3fax;image/gif;image/x-fits;image/pcx;image/x-portable-anymap;image/x-portable-bitmap;image/x-portable-graymap;image/x-portable-pixmap;image/x-psd;image/x-sgi;image/x-tga;image/x-xbitmap;image/x-xwindowdump;image/x-xcf;image/x-compressed-xcf;image/x-gimp-gbr;image/x-gimp-pat;image/x-gimp-gih;image/tiff;image/jpeg;image/x-psp;image/png;image/x-icon;image/x-xpixmap;image/svg+xml;application/pdf;image/x-wmf;image/jp2;image/jpeg2000;image/jpx;image/x-xcursor;
then dragged ~/.local/share/applications/ on launcher, no issues
edit:
icon= presumes package version of gimp installed, otherwise needs full-pathed icon

note - when make .desktop uses exec=script end <space>%u or %f or %f. allow .desktop seen in r. click context menu, %u should ok
