Description Mads Villadsen 2013-06-22 09:15:03 UTC
Description of problem:
I want to use gThumb to import photos from my camera so (using GNOME) I go to the Settings app and select Details/Removable Media.

Under Photos I would expect to be able to select "Import with gThumb" but I am not since gthumb-import.desktop has NoDisplay=true.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gthumb-3.2.2-1.fc19.x86_64

Comment 1 Christian Krause 2013-07-22 22:59:42 UTC
Just removing that key would have the drawback that gthumb-import would appear in the standard menus. Avoiding that is the primary reason NoDisplay=true is set.

I have double-checked the desktop-entry specification (http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html) and I believe that the usage of that key in gthumb is according to the spec:

--------------------------------
NoDisplay means "this application exists, but don't display it in the menus". This can be useful to e.g. associate this application with MIME types, so that it gets launched from a file manager (or other apps), without having a menu entry for it (there are tons of good reasons for this, including e.g. the netscape -remote, or kfmclient openURL kind of stuff). 
--------------------------------

So far I would consider this a problem in the gnome-control-center: the drop-down list for the action of a particular media should not omit applications which have the "NoDisplay" set.

Moving the bug to gnome-control-center.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2015-01-09 18:29:53 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will
be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'.

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.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 19 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 this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

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 3 Fedora End Of Life 2015-02-17 15:39:24 UTC
Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 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. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

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