Launchy does not detect midori browser

[Andres Cimmarusti]

Hi,

I'm using launchy (compiled and packaged by myself) on Debian testing using xfce desktop environment.
I currently have installed the lightweight midori browser (http://www.twotoasts.de/index.php?/pages/midori_summary.html)

Launchy works very well, but fails to find midori. This is puzzling since there is a file midori.desktop in /usr/share/applications/ as launchy expects.

I will post the contents of the midori.desktop file. Perhaps there is something in which launchy is failing to parse:

The unusual thing about this file is that it has several instances of exec, could this be the problem?

Thanks in advance

I have that problem too.

Though I managed to fix it by scanning /usr/bin and checking include executables.  It's mostly launching all the bin files now but at least it's launching them.

I run launchy on Lubuntu 12.04 and got the same problem with ff, tb, chromium and libreoffice. The problem is related to the Shortcut Group in the *.desktop. I copied the starter to ~/.local/share/applications/ an removed any Shortcut Group information to work around it.
