Subject: [9fans] Desktop File for Acme [plan9port]
Date: Wed, 11 Sep 2019 18:08:14 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <0bd4adbb-55df-a9ff-0584-319524cc6a1e@firemail.cc> (raw)
I'm trying to set up a desktop entry so I can launch acme w/o opening a
spare terminal. So far I have this in the entry:
```
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Exec=/home/parker/bin/acme.rc &
Terminal=true
Name=Acme
Icon=/usr/local/plan9/mac/spaceglenda.png
```
And the executable file is:
```
#!/usr/bin/env rc
TERM=dumb
plumber
fn cd { builtin cd $1 && awd $sysname }
tabstop=4
#font='/mnt/font/Lucida Grande/15a/font'
#font='/mnt/font/Roboto Regular/14a/font'
#font='/mnt/font/Noto Sans/13a/font'
lfont=/mnt/font/UnifontMedium/10a/font
font=$lfont
SHELL=rc
exec acme -a -f $font -F $lfont $*
```
The script works when I launch it in a terminal. But I can't figure out
why it isn't working via the desktop entry. I had `terminal` set to
false before and it didn't work. But when I set it to true, I see a
terminal screen flicker for a moment before it vanishes again. Anyone
here have any luck with doing this?
