Then after putting permissions back to normal (u+rw) and reboot everything was back to normal. I think quicklaunchbar.data under user profile is being used to read data in or "out" it for other processes, but not to store it. Eg. it is just one way placeholder for data. This type of one way access files suits aegis locking ethos; you need to get things locked, but you often need some media to transfer information other than just memory. |
Re: Missing Quick Launch Icons
Note that after PR 1.2 you should not copy launcherbuttons.data from the original path as this would destroy your folders.
The file (/home/user/.config/meegotouchhome-nokia/launcherbuttons.data) seems to contain all files to folders assignments now. BTW. You can remove unwanted icons from there. |
Re: Missing Quick Launch Icons
I have been using QuickBarControl nearly all time after PR1.2 and all was OK.
Today I decided to change places of 2 shortcuts and encountered some weird effects: 1. One apllication is stuck on leftmost position. I can not change.Although /home/user/.local/share/applications/quicklaunchbar0.desktop shows entry for different app, I still get this one there. 2. The stuck at pos. 0 application went missing from app launcher grid, replaced by camera-ui app. There is no entry for it in /home/user/.config/meegotouchhome.nokia/launcherbuttons.data. But there is correct entry in /home/user/.local/share/applications/ Any body more familiar with the structure of this can give me a hint how to restore missing shortcut in app launcher grid? I am thinking of creating entry in /home/user/.config/meegotouchhome.nokia/launcherbuttons.data, but I wonder what the digits between slashes mean? EDIT:OK, I got it - digits between slashes are level and position. So /0/12/ is the app in main menu row 4, leftmost. First digit 0 - main level, and the you start counting from 0 being the app in top left corner. EDIT2:Solved it - edited launcherbuttons.data file, rebooted the device, now everything looks and works OK. So basically changing your quicklaunchbar buttons by hand without the need of any apps comes to following 4 simple steps: 1. Delete all existing symlinks to quicklaunchbar buttons in /home/user/.local/share/applications/ Code:
rm -f /home/user/.local/share/applications/quicklaunchbar* Code:
ln -s /usr/share/applications/browser.desktop /home/user/.local/share/applications/quicklaunchbar0.desktop quicklaunchbar0.desktop is the symlink to real application we created in step 2, quicklaunchbar/0 is the position(0,1,2,3) in launchbar. 4. Reboot. |
Re: Missing Quick Launch Icons
My device developed this issue for the first time after I had to reflash earlier today. I completely agree that this should be a configuration choice that is handled by the settings menu. This could and should be one of the nagging issues handled by the mysterious 1.3 release. Here's hoping.
I suggest the app Mymoves as an immediately available, and in my view, very high quality substitute. I have assigned a gesture for each of my quick launch apps, and voila, anywhere at all on the device, whether in an app, homescreen, feed, or multitasker, the app activates. That said, I like the quick launch feature a lot and would like to see it repaired and improved. Heck, how about a different Mymoves gesture to scroll through different quick app configurations? Just kidding, let's just stick to what we're best at--the swipe. |

/home/user/.config/meegotouchhome-nokia/launcherbuttons.data Look for a lines like this home\user\.local\share\applications\quicklaunchbar 0.desktop=quicklaunchbar/0 there should be four with the numbers being 0,1,2 and 3, one for each shortcut. When i had the issue one of the lines looked.like this home\user\.local\share\applications\quicklaunchbar 0.desktop=launcher/0/45 so i just corrected it. edit just noticed zlatko's earlier post which describes this a lot better. |

"Text editor" is any application you use for editing text files, e.g Notes on N9 or Notepad, MS Word on Windows. Just transfer the file to your PC and edit it there. You can post it here, so we can take a look and guide you. Or even edit it for you. |

You seem to be missing your fourth quickluanchbar entry(button). So you have to: 1. link the correct application to it Code:
ln -s /usr/share/applications/YOUR_DESIRED_APP.desktop /home/user/.local/share/applications/quicklaunchbar0.desktop 2. and then create correct entry in launcherdata: home\user\.local\share\applications\quicklaunchbar 3.desktop=quicklaunchbar/3 3. reboot |
