Problems with the icon of the "computer" implemented in the dock

[Samuel]

Today 23 November update my Docky to Review 596 and noticed that the icon "Computer" (Nautilus) was always red and I mean, as the icon to indicate that the Nautilus had opened, but in this case is not.

[Samuel (samuel-ss)]

When I run another window on the desktop this error disappears.

[Robert Dyer (psybers)]

How did you add that icon to your dock?

[Robert Dyer (psybers)]

Nevermind, I managed to reproduce this. Also note that its marking that item as active only when the Desktop has focus. :-)

[Robert Dyer (psybers)]

This is the exec line from the nautilus-computer.desktop file:

Exec=nautilus --no-desktop computer:

We are parsing this to match any 'nautilus' window. If *any* nautilus widow has focus (including the desktop) this item is currently marked as active.

I thing this is some Nautilus related issue, same i had in GNOME-Do on Jaunty. Also affects default Nautils File Browser launcher which is not working.

When i drag to Docky from applicaton menu launcher for "File Browser" - this launcher is not working. It should simply open Nautilus window like it works through that menu. After that, when i open manually Nautilus and close it, that non-working launcher in Docky stays highlighted, like it's open..

Sorry, created a duplicate bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/docky/+bug/570767), didn't see this.

@Robert: I assume when no other app is running that means the desktop has the focus. Interesting that the icon doesn't show an indicator dot if the desktop is considered Nautilus (a la Finder in OS X)

[Robert Dyer (psybers)]

This problem seems to be fixed.

[Tyler R (trowe)]

Which version will this be fixed in? It still occurs in the latest I have.

[Robert Dyer (psybers)]

I tested it with bzr trunk and it is fixed. I used to be able to reproduce it, now I can't.

[Tyler R (trowe)]

I can still reproduce in bzr r1397

[Robert Dyer (psybers)]

You're right. I was testing with the wrong settings (which don't show this bug). It is now fixed in rev 1401.

[Tyler R (trowe)]

Confirmed fixed in 1406. Thanks!

BTW, wouldn't be the first time, but did I miss something? python-docky no longer needed? I had to uninstall it to get docky to upgrade.

debdiff which fixes this is attached to bug #579049

In my case Nautilus is displayed as the CD-DVD-Creator. Is it supposed to be a duplicate of this but?

If it is, it is not fixed as I'm using 2.1.0~bzr1659-0ubuntu1~10.04~dockycore.
