I'm trying to use the uniy launcher with progress bar.. but it doesn't work.. I just followed the first example on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqGfsgz1Sl4&list=UUWUDCz-Q0m4qK7lkK4CevQA&index=4&feature=plcp and watched the code of the hello-unity ppa ... trying integration in my apps.. and it doesn't work.

What I did:

  • added from gi.repository import Unity;
  • added self.launcher = Unity.LauncherEntry.get_for_desktop_id ("protoborsa.desktop") in the init code of my window application.
  • added launcher.set_property("progress", 0.42) after my application is displayed
  • added launcher.set_property("progress_visible", True) after my application is displayed

and nothing happened after quickly run...

I tried to follow this also.. How do I make the launcher progress bar work with my application? but it didn't work for me.

many thanks.

  • Can you provide a link to your code so I can see more of what it's doing? – mhall119 Jul 06 '12 at 01:26
  • I will provide later, cause I don't have the code here with me.. – Andrea De Gaetano Jul 06 '12 at 07:00
  • here is the code of another sample:http://paste.ubuntu.com/1077705/ – Andrea De Gaetano Jul 06 '12 at 07:18
  • @mhall119 I created a new ubuntu-application with the quickly command...for make a test, same result. This is the class called for the main window application http://paste.ubuntu.com/1077705/ the method showMeProgress_click it's a callback to a click on a button on the window. The 2 print statements (progress start and progress end) are showed but nothing happened to the launcher. What am I doing wrong? there is a ustockquotes.desktop.in in the directory of the project..but not ustockquotes.desktop ... I am using quickly and I do quickly run to launch the project. Thanks you – Andrea De Gaetano Jul 06 '12 at 07:25
  • I don't know why but now, after I've copied the file project.desktop.in (project is the name of the quickly project) inside the project folder in ~/.local/share/applications/ it works. – Andrea De Gaetano Jul 07 '12 at 15:25
  • @dega1999 Please post your own answer with this information. Then it will be clear to people searching that this was fixed and how, and this question won't appear to still need an answer. (You can accept your own answer 2 days after posting it.) – Eliah Kagan Jul 07 '12 at 15:31
  • @EliahKagan ok! I didn't know... I do :) – Andrea De Gaetano Jul 08 '12 at 21:26

I don't know why but now, after I've copied the file myproject.desktop.in (myproject is the name of the quickly project) inside the project folder in ~/.local/share/applications/myproject.desktop, it works.
