Description Simon Dedman 2019-04-10 18:06:08 CEST
The 'open with' dropdown doesn't appear to be editable by the user (docs for this app are scarce). It would be nice if these options were auto-populated into an editable file so users could change them, e.g.:
mail recipient - I don't have one I don't think
imagemagik - never use, not sure it's even installed
firefox - not sure what that would do
gimp - recent move to flatpak (https://www.gimp.org/downloads/) means old gimp install has to be removed. Flatpak doesn't replace it directly so this option remains but leads nowhere & one can't replace it. Which is a shame.

Just realised that v1.9.5 is out & I'm 1.8.2 - haven't seen this anywhere other than bug file pre-submission info so maybe that could be improved in the docs or something, in case various bugs have been resolved and features added?

THANKS!

Open with GIMP is now broken if you keep GIMP up to date.
E.g. on 2.10, the launch command in .desktop is:

/usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=gimp-2.10 --file-forwarding org.gimp.GIMP @@u %U @@


The dropdown in screenshooter still offers gimp, but nothing happens when selected.

I installed GIMP as flatpak and did not encounter this problem. Launch command is the same.

Possibly a dup of Bug 13886, please update the latest release.
Comment 4 Simon Dedman 2019-08-26 17:16:49 CEST
I don't think it's a dupe of 13886, though I don't fully understand that bug!

I'm hoping to be able to edit the 'open with' list that screenshooter has. Currently my list includes 2 firefoxes, WINE, and imagemagik, all of which I would like to remove. Previously it contained 2 GIMPs, the original and flatpak, and I didn't know which was which.

I have 1.9.5. Just downloaded 1.9.6 but can't install it:

"./configure" gives : "bash: ./configure: No such file or directory"
Please could you add some details to the readme file for future releases? Thanks!

I see, that bug may solve part of this one which are some apps failing to start.
The other part of this report is the feature request to add/remove new items to the Open with list.

The fix for Bug 13886 was released in 1.9.2, so 1.9.5 should be enough.

Works for me:
wget https://archive.xfce.org/src/apps/xfce4-screenshooter/1.9/xfce4-screenshooter-1.9.6.tar.bz2
tar xf xfce4-screenshooter-1.9.6.tar.bz2
cd xfce4-screenshooter-1.9.6
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
src/xfce4-screenshooter

If you downloaded from https://git.xfce.org/apps/xfce4-screenshooter then you need to run ./autogen.sh instead of ./configure.

Note that 1.9.6 (released yesterday) depends on libxfce4ui 4.14.0 but configure.ac.in wasn't updated, a new release will follow during the week.
