Bug Description
When an application is set to run in terminal, it doesn't!
1. Right click desktop.
2. Create Launcher.
Type: Application in Terminal
Name: ls
Command: /bin/ls
Comment: list files
3. Here is the resulting .desktop file:
$ cat ls.desktop
#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Terminal=true
Name[en_US]=ls
Exec=/bin/ls
Comment[
Name=ls
Comment=list files
4. Click on it, and NOTHING happens. (or so it seems)
5. Further investigation (eg with sleep 10) shows that the command is running in a terminal, and then instantly auto-closing the terminal afterwards!
We need an option to keep the terminal open after the command exits (which should be the default). Also, right-clicking an existing launcher should let you set whether it runs in terminal or not.
thank you for your bug report, what ubuntu version do you use? that's an upstream issue and should be sent to GNOME
