Support for application actions

[jle64]

It would be nice if support for application actions (aka jumplists) could be added, so that if a desktop entry defines additional actions we could use them to open files/links.

For example this would allow to open stuff in a browser private window or new window.

It's already supported - for now the UI is right click on the app icon

See https://github.com/sonnyp/Junction/pull/46

Oooh nice, sorry for the noise then, I should have checked.

It doesn't seem to work on my system though, nothing happens on right click despite actions existing in the desktop file.

This is with the flatpak from flathub on fedora 36 with wayland.

For which app? What does the desktop file look like ?

[jle64]

Looking at the desktop files I found the issue. The problem is not with junction its with the desktop files of some app not including "%u" in their action lines, hence while they didn't show up and I assumed it was not supported. When I edit them to add %u on the line they show up in junction and it works.

Anyway sorry and thanks for your time (and for junction).

Out of curiosity – can you share the apps ?

[jle64]

Well there was only "ungoogled chromium" which misses %u upstream at least in the flathub flatpak, the other one was firefox but it was only an issue due to my own changes to the file :)

Thanks

Epihany was mising it as well - I fixed it in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/epiphany/-/merge_requests/1049

For "ungoogled chromium" - could you fix or report the problem upstream?

[jle64]

I opened an issue here, hopefully this is the right place.

[jle64]

And they fixed it.
