ValueError: "No closing quotation error" raised on first run

[fogine]

The error is probably triggered by:

with gzip.open(cls.STATE_FILENAME, 'rb') as f: #line 163

because it's trying to process file ~/.config/dmenu-frecency/state which does not exists.

Seems like you have a .desktop file that shlex can't parse. Try the latest master (8035cb0) - it should display the filename in the terminal.

You're right, one file had ridiculous name What's new.desktop. It shows the warning. Thank you.
