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 It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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.
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 Fedora 17 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.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.
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
Thanks for checking this and for the patch. I'll take a look in the next few days.
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.
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.
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.
