Re: [orca-list] Could it be possible to add a desktop file to Orca



Hello Alex and others,

Me think, this could as well be added by the packager for distributions who want it.

Even more so as the distro could use a wrapper script to set the environment before starting orca.

Each one has one's method. For instance in Slint we ship a script orca-on, attached.

This being said, if I can get a good pic to associate to an orca.desktop I could include it the menus even 
though no one requested one so far.

Best regards,

Didier

Hello all,

Most of the application can be started by menu but it's not possible to find Orca inside the application 
menu. Also when you try to add an application to startup you can browse the currently installed 
applications but without desktop file it's no longer possible. See for exempla this issue: 
https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-control-center/issues/270 (someone pays 100$ for this just because 
we've drop the desktop file)

IMO, we should provide a desktop file to Orca. On Windows, both Jaws, NVDA and the narrator are 
discoverable by the start menu. I see no reason that make the end-user more happy without desktop file than 
he is with.

I can figure out what commit drop desktop file and tell you if you want.

Best regards,
Alex.
