Bug Description

I installed then ran the program by click on main.py, not from the command line, as specified here : http://www.webupd8.org/2011/05/quicklist-editor-for-ubuntu-unity.html

When clicking on save, the changes are not saved. How to reproduce:

- Choose a launcher in the app
- enter your quick list item
- click on save
- click on another launcher in the app
- go back to the initial launcher
- see that your entry is not here anymore
- retart unity and see that nothing has changed

System:

- Asus U6, nvidia card
- Ubuntu 11.04

Hello,

I understand this is a baby software, don't worry.

I tried your suggested branch:

- you get a syntax error when running main.py. It's 'import' written twice and can be fixed easily.
- now the entry are perfectly listed
- the menu still doesn't appear after saving

Updated to rev. 56 and it does not seem to be fixed. Does not save new Quicklists.

I think the problem is when you have an empty group inside the .desktop
file, or when an item is listed in the X-Ayatana-Desktop-Shortcuts without a
group entry.

The fix will be release with a new way to add Launcher entries soon.

Thanks! That tipped me to the right direction. Via root I discovered this error, No such file or directory: '/home/gary/.local/share/applications/ubiquity-gtkui.desktop' when trying to save new quicklist. I simply created an empty file in that path with that name. Now I can save without error. Much appreciated!
