After editing some .desktop file in my quicklaunch dir, a lot of duplicate entries showed in the menu.

I discovered that quicklaunch was showing an entry not only for firefox.desktop file but also for firefox.desktop~ file, the backup file created by my editor of choice.

This simple patch solves the issue:

Update for new gnome 3.4, please.

Hi, it would be great if the quicklaunch list could be opened by a Shortcut from the keyboard by default. Cheers.

Is it planned to make this work under gnome 3.6 ?

Upgraded to Ubuntu 19.04 (GNOME 3.32) this morning and the extension doesn't work at all. Shows an "ERROR" badge only.

If the user has to many applications in the list the menu will simply overflow. Solution: add scrollbars to the menu if menu size > screen size?

Please update for GNOME 3.8 at https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/37/quicklaunch/ .

GNOME 3.8 was released more than 3 months ago. Fedora 19 with GNOME 3.8 was released a week ago. People would love to use your extension, but they can't.

Thanks.

Upgraded to GNOME 3.36 this and the extension doesn't work at all. Shows an "ERROR" badge only.

Pull request: #18 fixed for GNOME 3.32 and 3.34

When the menu pops up it is blank. All of the entries are there and you can select them, but there is no text nor icon displaying, just a blank menu.

Hello,

GNOME 3.18 has been released and many people already use it. Could you please update your extension at extensions.gnome.org to support this new GNOME version?

Thanks!

Please update for GNOME 3.14 at https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/37/quicklaunch/ .

Thanks!

Please update for GNOME 3.10 at https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/37/quicklaunch/ .

GNOME 3.10 was released a month ago. Fedora 20 already includes it. People would love to use your extension, but they can't.

Thanks.

I'm facing a problem under gnome-shell-3.8.4-2.fc19.x86_64 under fedora 19

When clicking on « Create New Launcher ... », nothing happens...

Nothing appears in LookinGlass terminal...

But I still can add new launchers with :
$ cp /orginial/path/to/desktopFile.desktop ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/quicklaunch/launcherFile.desktop
(or with a ln -s should be better)

I've checked your source code and found that gnome-desktop-item-edit (called in function _setupNewDialog line 204) is not existing anymore.

In fact, this functionnality was present in default gnome-shell package, but, since fedora 19, it has been removed because of abandonment of GS Fallback mode. (see this post on fedora-fr forums (in French) : http://forums.fedora-fr.org/viewtopic.php?pid=526175#p526175 )

Replacing the call to « gnome-desktop-item-edit » with « nautilus » opens nautilus (the default gnome file browser) but an error occur : « File not found in ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/quicklaunch/e498f09c-c0e3-4fe4-80fc-6224b4574344.desktop »

May be you'll need to change a few other things for that to work.

Thank you for your great job, I really like this usefull extension !
