Very curious problem - desktop shortcut to games pcmanfm
Posted: Fri Jul 04, 2014 9:48 am
Greetings! Great site and posters, thanks for the great work!
I have a very curious problem, hopefully someone can help. I need to create a desktop shortcut (debian wheezy lxde) that would link to "menu://applications/Games". I created the link using the following code:
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Icon=applications-games
Name=Games
GenericName=Games
Comment=open games in PCManFM
Categories=FileManager;Utility;Core;GTK;
Exec=pcmanfm menu://applications/Games
StartupNotify=true
Terminal=false
MimeType=x-directory/normal;inode/directory;
Great, the link showed up and works great... or does it?? Well, the link works when it is created, but then the curious problem happens: if I reboot the machine, and (first thing) double click the "Games" shortcut, nothing happens, and PCManFM freezes (does not work when clicking on it). However, if I reboot the machine and double click first on the file manager (PCManFM) and then on the link "Games", all links work!! Funny, no??
I believe that some part of PCManFM needs to be initiated first before the link "Games" can work, but I was unable to figure this out.
Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
