Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2013-07-03 20:25:16 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '17'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life.

Bug Reporter:  Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you 
would still like  to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version  of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 
'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2013-07-31 20:20:30 UTC
Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

Comment 6 René Genz 2014-03-11 22:43:57 UTC
problem is present in Fedora 20.
Attachment 637481 [details] provides the solution to the surplus empty space at the end of the TryExec line ('TryExec=imagej ' instead of 'TryExec=imagej')

Note, in KDE the surplus empty space is ignored, ie. the icon is displayed; in GNOME the icon is not displayed

Comment 7 Adam Huffman 2014-03-12 11:52:04 UTC
Thanks for checking this and for the patch. I'll take a look in the next few days.

Comment 8 René Genz 2015-05-29 20:03:26 UTC
imagej-1.48-5.e.fc22.noarch
fixes the problem

However, there is one issue left. In the file
/usr/share/applications/imagej.desktop
the line
Exec=imagej %f
should be changed to
Exec=imagej %F

in order to allow users to open multiple selected pictures with right mouse button click -- Open with -- ImageJ

If you use %f each images will be opened in a separate ImageJ application.
If you use %F all images will be opened in a single ImageJ application.

Comment 9 Jan Kurik 2015-12-22 11:35:24 UTC
This bug is currently assigned to an unsupported release. If you think this bug is still valid and should remain open, please re-assign it to a supported release (F22, F23) or to rawhide.

Bugs which will be assigned to an unsupported release are going to be closed as EOL (End Of Life) on January 26th, 2016.

Comment 10 Jens Timmerman 2015-12-22 12:05:16 UTC
the original issue is indeed fixed in 1.48-5.e.fc22, 
I'm not sure if the aditional issue by René is a feature or a bug, so this is ok to close for me.
