Installer framework CreateDesktopEntry help

[anda_skoa]

I don't have any know-how on the installer framework, but have you tried a tmp path for the target to see if it could be a path problem?

P.S.: $HOME/.local/share is the fallback default value if $XDG_DATA_HOME is not set, so you could end up with a wrong path on systems where that is set to something else

Hi anda,
I don't understand what you mean by tmp path, you mean an absolute path for the desktop entry? I have tried that.
I also tried other operations, if it's not written correctly I get errors otherwise it doesn't fire.......I don't understand what's happening :|

Added after 15 minutes:

Appearently Qt Installer Framework doesn't do operations after finish button was clicked.........

I have modified my script this way:

function Component() {}
Component.prototype.createOperations = function() { 
    component.createOperations(); 
    var targetDir = installer.value("TargetDir");
    var homeDir = installer.value("HomeDir"); 
    var desktopFileTarget = installer.value("HomeDir") + "/.local/share/applications";
    component.addOperation("CreateDesktopEntry", 
                                  "Cumulus.desktop", 
                                  "Type=Application\nTerminal=false\nExec= " + targetDir + "/Cumulus\nName=Cumulus\nIcon= " + targetDir + "/cumulus.svg");
    component.addOperation("CreateDesktopEntry", 
                                  homeDir + "/.config/autostart/Cumulus.desktop", 
                                  "Type=Application\nTerminal=false\nExec= " + targetDir + "/Cumulus\nName=Cumulus\nIcon= " + targetDir + "/cumulus.svg");
}

function Component() {}
Component.prototype.createOperations = function() { 
    component.createOperations(); 
    var targetDir = installer.value("TargetDir");
    var homeDir = installer.value("HomeDir"); 
    var desktopFileTarget = installer.value("HomeDir") + "/.local/share/applications";
    component.addOperation("CreateDesktopEntry", 
                                  "Cumulus.desktop", 
                                  "Type=Application\nTerminal=false\nExec= " + targetDir + "/Cumulus\nName=Cumulus\nIcon= " + targetDir + "/cumulus.svg");
    component.addOperation("CreateDesktopEntry", 
                                  homeDir + "/.config/autostart/Cumulus.desktop", 
                                  "Type=Application\nTerminal=false\nExec= " + targetDir + "/Cumulus\nName=Cumulus\nIcon= " + targetDir + "/cumulus.svg");
}

Yes, a fixed path, probably in the system temp directory. Something you know exists and is user writable.
