[Maemo 5] Catorise Bug Causes Double / Duplicate Shortcuts
 

Hi,
I have two of these shortcuts when I try to add a shortcut on desktop..
Calendar
Clock
Contacts
Conversations
E-mail
Media-player
Phone
Photos
Web

I noticed this today, it has been all normal with one of each app since I bought it.
Only one of these doubles work, the other one does not start the application.

Please help :)

Re: Double shortcuts - add shortcut to desktop
 

this happened to me yesterday evening too. just the same as you.
for the momenti simply replaced all the shortcuts on the desktop with working ones. still cant say why it happened and how to delete the not workings from the customization menu. no big deal but anyway its annoying.

yesterday i was upgrading via xterminal (catorise and some other stuff) and the x terminal crashed. i apt-checked and updated and upgraded again and it said that all was ok.

then, the problem with shortcuts. were you upgrading too when it happened?

Re: Double shortcuts - add shortcut to desktop
 

I also upgraded something via AppManager this morning, I think it was Catorise and ShortcutD.

Edit: Yes, uninstalling Catorise solved the problem! And thank you :)

Re: Double shortcuts - add shortcut to desktop
 

thank you too for pointing out the problem (and the solution). i was ignoring it now you solved it. did u reinstall catorise then?

Re: Double shortcuts - add shortcut to desktop
 

No I didn't

Re: Double shortcuts - add shortcut to desktop
 

it's Catorise. uninstalling sorts it out.

Edit: as has been pointed out!

Re: [Maemo 5] Catorise Bug Causes Double Shortcuts
 

It's weird for me as well. I think the problem starts when I upgrade via xterm. After each update, I got duplicate icons ( I notice because my desktop icon didn't work anymore). I got an "unknown icon" error when upgrading through exterm. I think catorize might be duplicating icons that you have on your desktop (but not all my desktop icon got dupped). Another update and I now have three icons for some of my apps (seems to affect only some app like phone, doc, email, etc). I hope the creator of catorise have an answer. I really like this app and would like to keep it. I hope a fix is in the making otherwise I will have to uninstall this app.

Re: [Maemo 5] Catorise Bug Causes Double Shortcuts
 

Less guessing please.

The duplicate folders in MyDocs is a Maemo bug, unrelated to Catorise: #5838.

Catorise will result in two shortcuts for any application which has X-Maemo-Prestarted=always in their .desktop file. Effectively, this boils down to a lot/most of the apps which are, by default, on the main applications menu (e.g. Phone, Conversations, Email etc.)

If you see any reproducible behaviour whereby Catorise then continues to create additional shortcuts (beyond the additional one it needs because of #8111), please raise a bug:

My bad for all my guessing...I'm just a dumb user....:P

Friendly Shortcut Bug
 

I just discovered that shortcuts I have already added to the desktop have reappeared in the add shortcut to desktop menu. Has anyone had this "problem"? I would love for this bug to happen two more times so I can have the phone shortcut on each desktop. I now have it on two of the four. But of course I don't know what caused it and don't even know when it happened. Could even have been as long ago as the firmware update and I didn't notice.

Re: Friendly Shortcut Bug
 

Are you using Catorise?

Re: Friendly Shortcut Bug
 

Yes I just installed it a couple of days ago. Is there a connection?

Re: Friendly Shortcut Bug
 

Yes, there's a bug in Catorise (well, more of an inevitable side-effect than a bug IIRC) which causes these duplicates to appear. I don't use it myself, so I'm not entirely sure of the situation (check the Catorise threads for details), but ISTR some people mentioning that not all the duplicated shortcuts actually worked.

Re: [Maemo 5] Catorise Bug Causes Double Shortcuts
 

The thread "Friendly Shortcut Bug" with four posts has been merged into this thread.

Re: [Maemo 5] Catorise Bug Causes Double Shortcuts
 

It's a side-effect of #8328's fix. AFAIK, the one additional shortcut works.

Re: [Maemo 5] Catorise Bug Causes Double Shortcuts
 

my shortcuts doesn't seem to work. only one will work. The other two are like dead link.

Re: [Maemo 5] Catorise Bug Causes Double Shortcuts
 

same here, folder x2 shortcuts x2 nothing fixes it this isnt right at all

Re: [Maemo 5] Catorise Bug Causes Double Shortcuts
 

it seems that i have to uninstall catorise for the moment. or stopping using xterm for upgrading...

hmmm..i think i will uninstall catorise. pity it was quite good for the rest. please make us know when this bug will be solved so we can install it again.

Re: [Maemo 5] Catorise Bug Causes Double Shortcuts
 

do those who updated through "app manager" have this problem? I have this problem and I upgrade via xterm. Can anyone confirm?

Re: [Maemo 5] Catorise Bug Causes Double Shortcuts
 

"folder x2"? What folders? Are you misattributing #5838 to Catorise?

To put this to rest, here is a definitive list of the applications which will have two shortcuts available in the desktop's "Add shortcut" dialogue (if you have one already added, you'll see one extra one):

• Calendar (calendar.desktop)
• Clock (worldclock.desktop)
• Contacts (osso-addressbook.desktop)
• Conversations (rtcom-messaging-ui.desktop)
• Email (modest.desktop)
• Media Player (mediaplayer.desktop)
• Phone (rtcom-call-ui.desktop)
• Photos (image-viewer.desktop)
• Web (browser.desktop)

If you have any other additional shortcuts, or more than 2 of any of these, you probably have installed 0.7.0-0.7.2 of Catorise from Extras-devel at some point. To sort it out, as root:

Re: N 900 NEEDS HELP HERE!!!!!! problems!!!
 

looks messed up, restart the phone, if this does not sort it, you will have to flash it, excuse to put new global firmware lol

Re: N 900 NEEDS HELP HERE!!!!!! problems!!!
 

Yeah, my n900 has this same 'problem'.
Doesn't seem to cause any problems though, as far as i can tell.

If it aint broke, don't fix it :D

Re: N 900 NEEDS HELP HERE!!!!!! problems!!!
 

Check your:

/usr/share/applications/hildon (I think that path is right) and check your *.desktop files. If you have duplicate desktop files you can delete some.

NVM.. Just noticed you said shortcuts. I don't know where those are.

Re: N 900 NEEDS HELP HERE!!!!!! problems!!!
 

Hi,
I have these duplicate entries, too.
If I add, for example, one "Photos" shortcut, there's only one left in the shortcut selection list. If I add that to my homescreen, too, there are no "Photos" entries anymore in the shortcut selection list.
So probably the reason for these duplicates is that you can add certain shortcuts twice on your homescreens.

EDIT: and I don't think this should be a reason to flash your device

Re: N 900 NEEDS HELP HERE!!!!!! problems!!!
 

I am willing to bet you have catorise installed. Known bug

Re: N 900 NEEDS HELP HERE!!!!!! problems!!!
 

yes Catorise 0.7.4 has the duplication bugs on some menus. Eg: clock, Conversation, Media player and Email.

Uninstalled Categorise and everything should be back to normal. Hope this help.

Re: N 900 NEEDS HELP HERE!!!!!! problems!!!
 

Although I think it is a good thing that you can add an additional phone short cut. Wish I could add four.

Re: N 900 NEEDS HELP HERE!!!!!! problems!!!
 

Yes but it will be a mess :D why would you want 4 of the same icons on every windows? One is too much already, the more icons the slower your device would be at start up. And when you switching screen.

Re: N 900 NEEDS HELP HERE!!!!!! problems!!!
 

So if I am on the desktop I can very quickly launch the phone app no matter which desktop I am on rather than having to press power then wait for the options to open up then press phone.
