Techie...
Not related to DrLaunch.The issue lies with flashlight itself.If you want to make it appear then open file
"/usr/share/applications/hildon/flashlight-applet-launcher.desktop" in a text editor.Here find the line "NoDisplay=true".Remove this line or set it to false.Icon will now appear in menu and can be added to desktop.[/QUOTE]
First- thanks very much. i followed ur instruction and am now able to add the flashlight icon to the desktop.
However, the flashlight icon work from the desktop, but still not from Dr Launch. it just does not respond.
i should add that all the other apps i have tested so far from DrLaunch work flawlessly.
As i have the flashlight icon working from desktop it is not critical for me that it should work fromDrLaunch but any help to make it work will be coooooool!
thanks.thanks.

wow!!
it now works. merely changing the "Nodisplay" line to false as instructed by Techie now makes it work.
A zillion thanks to V13, and Techie.

Thanks for the info. Is it possible to find out the current theme's name?
I wasn't aware for the icons issue. The fact is that locating the icons is a tricky part and I rely on a library for xdg which *should* return the proper icons. In fact, I wonder how the frack the hildon-home can locate icons in non-standard places. Is there a path definition somewhere?
[Background Info
] From what I know, icons are located in "/opt/usr/share/icons/".The default ones are under the "hicolor" folder.If a theme uses its own icons then they will be under their respective theme directory in this icons folder (further categorized by their size).The desktop application icons are 48x48.for eg "/opt/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/hildon/" is for default theme.This is where icons for default applications (phone,contacts etc) and for (some) apps are located.
What I think is done here is,icons are first searched under "../icons/theme-name/".If they are found here they are loaded.If not then icons from "../icons/hicolor/" are loaded.In case they are missing here too, then a general blue square is shown.[/Background Info]
However, I am pretty confident that these things are not required to be manually specified by a developer.There should be appropriate calls available somewhere.You really should ask D-Iivil since he has extensive knowledge and experience in theme making.
In any case I do not believe this is too big a issue to be worked on at expense of other areas, and I would consider it a bonus if you were to devote any time resolving this
.I love your app and probably you should invest your time in improving other areas (or more requested features) first

I love this program but I have a problem with it. It tends to get stuck, reacts and displays the icon is pressed but does not open any applications. I have to reboot the n900. The other applications are running smoothly so discard crash.
This happens regularly.

Hi all
I've a bug too. I can't had a shorcut for application with space in his name. I can select the name in the list but i can't apply.
I've tested with:
Mobile Maps 9
Search Tool
System Event Scheduler
Timed Silencer
Tracker Cfg
Transition Control
Thx for your application, I like it.
PS I dont think it is because of the space in the name, because I can add others with a space. So it's something else

Open a terminal and run:
Code:
python2.5 /usr/share/pyshared/drlaunch/widget.py
Unfortunately I don't have mobile maps 9 and other apps that I tested (like search tool) did not trigger the problem for me.

@V13
Hi!
I have a suggestion: I don't know if it is possible, but I think that you could add a scrollbar to your widget and make it able to contain an arbitrary large number of items (a sort of menu on the desktop...I don't know if I explained myself).
Anyway, great work!

First of all, a quote from actman-thread considering a bug:
Would it be possible to mod the DrLaunch so in the future, that one could have the launchers on certain position on horizontal and on another one in portrait? In my opinion this would be a great feature to implement, since we can't really have (yet/ever) full portrait support for Maemo 5.

So if I make new widgets for DrLaunch for Desktop Activity e.g. Normal and duplicate that to DA e.g. Portrait I lose possibilities to customize DrLaunch. Why is that? Well, since I normally would be customizing the launchers to custom ones (ones for Portrait others for Normal) the app comes in and every time mirrors the made changes from one to another. For example, now I have Portraits some DrLaunchers on Normal and vice versa.
