new item panel's "Ok" button disabled (github version works)

[David Sanz Kirbis]

With Ubuntu 14.04 and gnome classic flashback, when trying to add a new item to the applications menu, the "ok" button is always disabled, and does not change to enabled after editing the rpoper fields.

This was already fixed 5 months ago, why didn't you update the packet since then with the new source?

The working version is hosted at:

https://github.com/GNOME/alacarte/blob/master/Alacarte/

and the file causing the error is:

https://github.com/GNOME/alacarte/blob/master/Alacarte/ItemEditor.py

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

When editing an existing item the OK button stays disabled.

As of 16.04 LTS the bug remains...

I do not know if this is relating to the bug, I made an account to propose something that fixed my problem which is very similar and may fix your problem. If your path has a space in it, add a \ before the space. It doesn't do this automagically so it will refuse to be made since this is an error. Also if you wish to use this .desktop file in the "open with" right click menu you will also need to add "%f" at the end of the binaries path since it also does not automatically do this either.
