@Xecure; Thanks, added the section for description as you have!
@PPC / Xecure:
1. Ok Changed to all apps as I still plan to use this for selecting apps from the other apps as this was the original intent (next to update desktop-defaults-set)
@PPC:
2. Done
3. Though it is redundant it shall stay. These are probably going to change function depending on how it is called. (as it was not originally intended for an app launcher)
Plus double clicking is aaaaalllllloooooootttttt of effort and the keyboard is wwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy to far away… how am I to run the program? lol 😛
4. Have given it alot of output to help with building it (used to have columns for list iterated number, processed number, and gtk class values). Dropped the .desktop filename column. The rest I think are useful for searching. (For example I better know the control centre as antixcc which would not show up if the exec column is removed)
Final Point.
The big change that would make the script “perfect”:
I only don’t say your script/application has perfect functionality as it is right now because it lacks one thing that I, not knowing any python don’t know can be easily implemented or even implemented at all- a real “search” function. For example: if the user starts typing “Synaptic”- he/she can just type “Sy” and press enter and Synaptic is launched! That’s a great way to launch applications (similar to what I do in MX linux menu or in antiX using j4-dmenu)
but if the user wants to search a file in the hard drive and starts typing “search”, because the “search” is done using the characters of the application name starting from the first character “Space FM file search” will never be “reached”.
This does not greatly reduce the launcher usability, but if this script was able to do that, applauncher.py would be on par with the file launch capability of all other file launchers out there…
Should be added.
