Description (last modified by )
The new feature in 0.11.3 to wrap regular commands via winswitch_command_wrapper is very neat (and fast too!), but for more people to use it we need to make it easier to setup: provide a tool to make it easier to convert a bunch of .desktop files to use/not-use the wrapper.
It needs to:
- be able to run as root to change system wide settings
- run as user and save to user specific shortcuts
- take the blacklists into account so we don't convert software that does not work (see #132)
The freedesktop menu specification seems to allow this sort of thing.
The wrapper also needs an easy way of being toggled:
- global on/off option which can be changed from applet
- detect magic key and based on wrapper_magic_key_action, either:
- launch via wrapper
- do not launch via wrapper (if default is off)
- ask
- option to start the applet if it is not running
Also maybe:
- detect if the desktop files have been modified (ie: by OS upgrades) and re-apply the changes
