Multiple instances even after editing .desktop file
-
Hi
I followed instruction from here -http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/Single_Instance_Harmattan_Applications#57bd2611a5f660693bc0b0d96860058e
and changed my desktop entry as follows@[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Name=insulincal
Exec=Exec=invoker --single-instance --type=e /opt/insulincal/bin/insulincal
Icon=/usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/apps/insulincal.png
X-Window-Icon=
X-HildonDesk-ShowInToolbar=true
X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable@insulincal is my app name.
I still get multiple app launches in N950 [on remote data access – I am still waiting for my device]
Can you pl check what is wrong above ?ThanksEdit: clarified title a little bit; Andre

Unfortunately no. I am also trying to add space in rules file but I get packaging error. This is in discussion in the following thread-

Thanks -
Have a look at the created package, in my case it never actually used my desktop file and packaged a default one not using invoker at all/

Hi,
So how can I add the modified desktop file in my deb file? I extracted my deb file with 'universal extractor' and found that the desktop file is different. I want to replace this file with the 'single instance' modified desktop file. What program do you use. Please note that if I replace the modified desktop file in 'Debian' folder and try tom compile the deb file, I again get a new desktop file in the deb pack so I need to replace the desktop file in the compiled deb file.
Ok, I think that was way too confusing. All I want to know is how to replace desktop file in deb file (like is there a winrar for deb?). I use windows XP SP3 edition. -
Try adding:
@
defineTest(qtcAddDeployment) {
for(deploymentfolder, DEPLOYMENTFOLDERS) {
item = item$${deploymentfolder}
itemsources = $${item}.sources
$$itemsources = $$eval($${deploymentfolder}.source)
itempath = $${item}.path
$$itempath= $$eval($${deploymentfolder}.target)
export($$itemsources)
export($$itempath)
DEPLOYMENT += $$item
}MAINPROFILEPWD = $$PWD
unix {
maemo5 {
desktopfile.path = /usr/share/applications/hildon
} else {
desktopfile.path = /usr/share/applications
copyCommand =
for(deploymentfolder, DEPLOYMENTFOLDERS) {
source = $$MAINPROFILEPWD/$$eval($${deploymentfolder}.source)
source = $$replace(source, \\, /)
macx {
target = $$OUT_PWD/$${TARGET}.app/Contents/Resources/$$eval($${deploymentfolder}.target)
} else {
target = $$OUT_PWD/$$eval($${deploymentfolder}.target)
}
target = $$replace(target, \\, /)
sourcePathSegments = $$split(source, /)
targetFullPath = $$target/$$last(sourcePathSegments)
!isEqual(source,$$targetFullPath) {
!isEmpty(copyCommand):copyCommand += &&
copyCommand += $(MKDIR) "$$target"
copyCommand += && $(COPY_DIR) "$$source" "$$target"
}
}
!isEmpty(copyCommand) {
copyCommand = @echo Copying application data... && $$copyCommand
copydeploymentfolders.commands = $$copyCommand
first.depends = $(first) copydeploymentfolders
export(first.depends)
export(copydeploymentfolders.commands)
QMAKE_EXTRA_TARGETS += first copydeploymentfolders
}
}
installPrefix = /opt/$${TARGET}
for(deploymentfolder, DEPLOYMENTFOLDERS) {
item = item$${deploymentfolder}
itemfiles = $${item}.files
$$itemfiles = $$eval($${deploymentfolder}.source)
itempath = $${item}.path
$$itempath = $${installPrefix}/$$eval($${deploymentfolder}.target)
export($$itemfiles)
export($$itempath)
INSTALLS += $$item
}
icon.files = $${TARGET}.png
icon.path = /usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/apps
desktopfile.files = $${TARGET}.desktop
target.path = $${installPrefix}/bin
export(icon.files)
export(icon.path)
export(desktopfile.files)
export(desktopfile.path)
export(target.path)
INSTALLS += desktopfile icon target
}export (ICON)
export (INSTALLS)
export (DEPLOYMENT)
export (TARGET.EPOCHEAPSIZE)
export (TARGET.CAPABILITY)
export (LIBS)
export (QMAKE_EXTRA_TARGETS)
}
@to your pro file. This is just an extract for the deployment.pri file you'd normally find in a Qt for symbian project and I found it that this solved the problem of the desktop file not being used.
