Netbook-Launcher does not update thumbnail names when they are edited in alacarte

[Steffen Holanger]

Binary package hint: netbook-launcher

I was editing the name on some of the thumbnails in "alacarte". The name appearers right in Alacarte, but when I go back to netbook-launcher the name is still like before I edited it. The two different thumbnails I tried to edit was one located under the category "office" and the other was under "internet" and has a link in "favourites"

The program opens when clicked but the "open program" box does not appearer like it usually does.

I use: "Description: Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS Release: 10.04"

Thanks for reporting this bug and help to make ubuntu better.

It's more or less related to bug #505600, but let's keep it separated.

It seems that netbook-launcher just needs to restart to catch the new names. I tried both login off and back on and reboot and both times netbook-launcher has updated the names

[Didier Roche-Tolomelli (didrocks)]

Sure, the issue is that it just doesn't monitor dynamically the files in your home directory and it should :)
Not a trivial change though for a stable version.
