(for some reason that I won’t debug right now)
That reason is exactly the fact that TIM does not react to “Terminal=true”- doing that would add to the script’s complexity (more than what I could handle at the time I began writing it) and would not be of much use to most users, since the .desktop file of cli apps like “htop” and “nano” have exec lines that run those apps in a fresh terminal window , and most users tend to add GUI applications to the toolbar…
It seems that ceni’s .desktop file is the exception to that rule 🙁
I can’t improve TIM’s script (nor will I probably do that in the foreseeable future)- But yes, checking the .desktop file for the string “Terminal=true”, and if a match is found add automatically x-terminal-emulator -e ” to the exec command (and close quotes after that)- would be the optimal solution.
We have a saying here in Portugal (probably everywhere else, since it’s Voltaire’s most famous quote):
“O óptimo é inimigo do bom”, literally translates as ” optimum is the foe of good”, meaning that if we keep waiting until everything is completely perfect, nothing really gets done; it’s best to take a “good” outcome, even if it’s not the “perfect” one…
P.
Edit: Lol, that did not come out correctly! I meant “automatically x-terminal-emulator -e ” to the exec command that TIM adds to Icewm’s toolbar config file (and close quotes after that)” […]
