ocrfeeder ".desktop" file fails to properly launch program

[David Martinka]

This should be an easy one, I've fixed it myself. Here's a snippet of ocrfeeder.desktop:

'''
Exec=ocrfeeder -i %f
'''

From man page, "-i" tells ocrfeeder to interpret subsequent arguments as files to open, however since we're opening this from a menu, there are no additional arguments passed, so the program fails to launch (or else fails silently, haven't dug that far).

I copied the packaged ocrfeeder.desktop to ~/.local/share/applications/ocrfeeder.desktop as an override, and then modified it:

'''
#Exec=ocrfeeder -i %f
Exec=ocrfeeder
'''

Now it opens as expected. I'm not sure what the intention was but I can't see how this would work other than by opening the program via a context menu in a file browser, where a file name would actually be passed...

Looks like this may have been fixed upstream:
