Unable to edit application launcher pinned to taskbar #57

Closed m5benson closed 5 years ago

m5benson commented 5 years ago

Describe the bug I have been a huge fan of Linux Mint for many years. Thank you for all your hard work! After pinning an application launcher to the primary taskbar, I like to edit the pinned launcher to change the icon and also to point to a heavily-used web address, such as YouTube. So, in effect, I am "hijacking" the application launcher to become something very different.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. click on Linux Mint start button
  2. find the Accessibility application under All Applications
  3. hover the mouse over Accessibility such that Accessibility highlights, then right-click on that application
  4. left-click on "+ Add To Panel"
  5. right-click the newly-pinned Accessibility application on the taskbar
  6. at this point, you are given three options: (1) Preferences, (2) New Window, or (3) Unpin from Panel
  7. none of these options allows you to edit the pinned launcher

Expected behavior: Older versions of Cinnamon (in Mint 17, 18, 19.1) allow you to do this. In step (6) above, I expect to see an additional "Edit" choice, that allows me to change the icon and change the command. See two (2) attached screenshots, which show the desired dialog boxes from Linux Mint 19.1.

I confirm this bug.

That's not a bug. The Grouped Window List applet isn't meant to do this. There's an applet for that exact purpose though, it's Panel Launchers.

Yes, you are right - I had forgotten that I had this same problem with 19.1, and removed "Grouped window list" application from the panel. https://superuser.com/questions/1405990/how-to-mint-19-cinnamon-taskbar-application-remove-grouping
