[apport] alacarte crashed while editing menus with Exception in __writeItem()

[drink]

Binary package hint: alacarte

alacarte in general is not working correctly. this crash was the result of dragging a launcher icon from the desktop to the program. new launchers don't show up until I quit and restart alacarte, and if I drag them to a new position they disppear, but are moved to the correct location (which I find out after restarting alacarte.) The move up/move down buttons work in the same fashion.

Thank you for your bug

According to the code you were dragging a shell script or regular binary into alacarte, not a launcher. I never thought 'os.path.split(file_path)[1].strip()' would fail to give some sort of output so I didn't put in an exception handler here.

What were you dragging into alacarte?

I was dragging a launcher (I promise, it was a launcher!) that I made to run
Dreamweaver 8 in Wine.
