Title: non-gui application with .desktop file
Post by: tblumer on May 25, 2004, 05:23:03 pm
I\'ve asked this question before, but in a different way - hoping someone can help. I want to have a non-gui application that is launched from the Application tab (i.e. has a .desktop file in apps/Applications). Does a way exist to tell Qtopia that the application has exited? As it is, the \"launch explosion\" remains for a long time.

Are you using QT at all.  If not can you put a QT wrapper around your exectuable and set the non-gui flag for your QApplication or QPEApplication class.

In my opinion it would make sense to add a NON-GUI flag to the AppLnk properties and have the launcher create a ShellScriptIcon for each of the scripts. Please file this feature wish to TrollTech. Submitting it to the Opie Bugtracker will probably make it an implementation more early though :-D

Console app? How are you launching it? Script or directly?

I\'m lauching it from a keypress assignment. I tried doing the QApplication and specifying that it was non-GUI, but apparently you can\'t do QApplication. You must do QPEApplication. But, with QPEApplication there is no \"non-gui\" flag. I hope to get back to trying a couple other things this weekend, but still a no-go at the moment (for the most part, anyway).
