OpenWebStart Repeatedly Asks About Creating Desktop and Start Menu Shortcuts #166

Open Zian opened 4 years ago

Zian commented 4 years ago

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Install OpenWebStart 1.1.1
  2. Click on the JNLP link at https://josm.openstreetmap.de/
  3. Download the file
  4. Open and run the file
  5. Wait while the runtime installs (this will take a long time)
  6. Allow the start menu shortcut and uncheck the box for the desktop shortcut.
  7. JOSM launches
  8. Reboot your computer
  9. Start JOSM from the Start Menu
  10. OpenWebStart will ask the same question from step 6 again.

Software Environment:

Expected Result: OpenWebStart should only ask for my shortcut preferences one time.

Actual Result: OpenWebStart asks about shortcuts every time I start the program.

There is a setting in the itw-settings application to configure this behavior. It is in the tab Desktop Integration

Zian commented 4 years ago

There's nothing called "itw-settings" in the Start menu. I'm guessing you meant "OpenWebStart Settings" because it popped up unexpectedly: image

I changed it to "Ask user" but I still get prompted every time I start the program.

With OWS on master (to be released soon) if the shortcut and desktop icon have been created once, OWS does not ask for them to be created, it just updates them.

However if the user chooses in the dialog not to create DesktopIcon then this decision is NOT remembered and OWS will ask again the next time the app is started.

Reproduced here. It will only start asking you to create shortcuts, when you give in and let the software create shortcuts. If you uncheck any of the shortcut checkboxes, it will ask you again next time.

We will fix this issue in a future release.

The problem is still present in version 1.4.0

janakmulani commented 3 years ago

Sorry we did not get around to do it in the last release. If it is really important for you then please contact us at openwebstart@karakun.com.

Zian commented 2 years ago

Thanks for the suggestion. I've done as you said.

Zian commented 1 year ago

FYI, the problem continues to occur in version 1.6.0.

janakmulani commented 1 year ago

We have not addressed this issue in 1.6.0. If it is really important for you then please contact us at openwebstart@karakun.com.

It's not really important, it's just concerning and confusing.

OWS 1.10.0 - problem still exists

janakmulani commented 1 month ago

Sorry we could not do it this time.
