Weird chromimum launcher issue. #817

Open developer91234 opened 6 years ago

developer91234 commented 6 years ago

I have two separate chromium profiles running in two separate user directories.

I have two separate .desktop launchers for each of these profiles. When I use these launchers anywhere outside dash to dock, they run the correct profile. But when I click them from dash to to dock, they just open another window within the chromium profile that's already open, as if I just clicked a regular chromium launcher without any args. Is D2D stripping out commandline args? How is that ever possible?

Could be the same of #610

I have a similar issue. Dash to dock doesn't seem to use .desktop files? I added a touchscreen setting to my Firefox launcher, which works when I run it anywhere but dash to dock.

It seems like this issue is caused because you did not modify the Exec line of the new-window action of the .desktop file, which is what dash-to-dock runs when you launch an application which has a new-window action. I came across the same issue, modified the new-window action, relogged and it is launching correctly now.
