Bug Description

Impact:
It makes totem hard to find in the dash

Test Case:
Open the unity dash, type "DVD" or "Film" or "Movie", any of those should find totem

Regression potential:
Totem will be listed as matching some new keywords, shouldn't create any issue

---

The totem desktop file needs to add support to the new keywords XDG specifications.

Hi Nekhelesh,

First off, thanks for contributing to totem upstream!

Unfortunately we're past final freeze on precise. This looks like a fairly innocuous change but I don't think it's a severe enough problem to warrant an Stable Release Update, so am marking it wontfix.

If you disagree, please feel free to file an SRU request. Docs on how to do this are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates

I'll leave a task open for Q-series. I gather we'll probably get this fix automatically once Q syncs in the new package.

Bryce, this has been fix released upstream. I agree that this is not a severe enough problem, hence it is better of to push to Q series. In fact I am guessing it will automatically come in from upstream if totem 3.4.1 is imported.

In fact that seems worth backporting, it's a bit lame that typing "DVD" or "Film" in the dash doesn't find totem

This breaks string freeze, as the new keywords appear to be translatable.

That should be ok, though, as long as these keywords never appear in user-visible UI. Is that the case? These are *only* used to match in the dash, never displayed?

Nekhelesh Ramananthan (nik90) wrote :

Chris, these keywords are used *only* for the sole purpose of improving the matching in the dash. Currently, a new user can find totem in the dash by explicitly searching for totem, movie. However the keywords will help the user find totem using other generic terms such as Film, DVD etc etc.. They do not appear in any form in the user-visible UI.

Does string freeze really apply to non visibile strings? Those are just keywords for dash searchability and no they are not displayed in any ui elemenet

I have tested totem 3.0.1-0ubuntu21.1 from precise-proposed and can confirm it fixes this bug. Typing "movie", "film" or "DVD" in the dash will all find totem now.

I have also tested playback of several MP3, MP4, FLV and WMV files and found no regressions.
