I have an application desktop file (pointed to by an Application menu
entry) as follows:-
[Desktop Entry]
Categories=
Comment=Startest
Comment[en]=Startest
Encoding=UTF-8
Exec=/home/chris/bin/startest.sh
GenericName=
GenericName[en]=
Icon=/home/chris/Starbase/installer/icons/starbase.png
MimeType=
Name=Starbase
Name[en]=Starbase
Path=/home/chris/Starbase
ServiceTypes=
SwallowExec=
SwallowTitle=
Terminal=true
TerminalOptions=
Type=Application
URL=
X-KDE-SubstituteUID=false
X-KDE-Username=root
# created by com.izforge.izpack.util.os.Unix_Shortcut $Revision$
# $Id$
(This is a copy of the original one which I'm trying to debug)
/home/chris/bin/startest.sh is simply:-
#
#
#
#
pwd
cd /home/chris/Starbase
pwd
/bin/bash
When I click on the menu entry for startest a terminal window appears
with the following in it:-
/home/chris
/home/chris/Starbase
chris$
Why doesn't it start up with /home/chris/Starbase as its directory?
This is what the Path=/home/chris/Starbase in the desktop file is
supposed to do isn't it? Or am I missing something very obvious?
Oh, if it's relevant, running xubuntu 10.10.
