[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#627111: Bug#627111: xfce4-settings: Cannot open thunar-volman-settings due to wrong path in German localization

[zapyon at gmx.net (Andreas Neudecker)]

Hi.

This is weird. I am 100% sure I never touched the menu entries of the
Settings folder before, and I also used that dialogue short while ago
when still running 4.6 (switching off autostart of vlc for DVDs at the
time).

Ok, I didn't assume that the upgrade dialogue did something. I assumed
the path to the actual program, thunar-volman-settings, had changed, and
this was not changed in the configuration (and may have been when all
the files changed). But you say it uses default desktop files, so I keep
wondering.

I have NOW, of course, as I used the menu editor to fix it.
/usr/share/applications/thunar-volman-settings.desktop doesn't have a
path at all; just the line "Exec=thunar-volman-settings", just the way
it should be.

I shall check a backup of my home folder and see if I can somehow
reproduce this, when I have some time. Will report if I find anything
substantial.

Regards

Andreas
