Bug Description

I used the Ubuntu Intrepid repository to upgrade from 0.80 to 0.81.

Now all the action preferences for items I had used seemed to have return to the application default.

It seems like the program has mixed up the frequency of use values after the upgrade. I will explain it using an example below:

I had a script file which needs to be "Run" but Gnome Do keeps on giving me "Open" as the first preference. Even though I have tabbed chose "Run" many times (around 15). On 0.80 I may have used Run on this script file so many times the counter may be at 1500, but after the upgrade Gnome Do might have given 1500 to "Open", so until manually "tab" choose Run 1500 times it will never take over the "Open" as top selection for this script file.

Is there a way of seeing what the frequencies are held for this file, and finally what is the best way to reset the indexes without losing all other Gnome-Do settings.

Oh is *that* what happened? This is driving me nuts; I have tons of scripts I used to Run from do, and now I have to tab-R every time.

why is the priority low for this?

Mostly because there is an easy fix in the sense that you can delete your relevance file and start over. It will then re-learn that you use 'Run' often.

Also I am not entirely sure this problem exists with the current version in bzr. Can someone verify this? We might need to increase the priority, if the problem still exists, as it will affect every user on upgrades.

I had deleted the relevancy file weeks ago, and it didn't resolve the issue. Even the whole Gnome-Do config folder and re-installed Gnome-Do

This bug happens on all my script files even the new script files.

Is there any hack/trick to output the contents of the relevancy bin file.

I think I have found the cause of this bug - the Gnome Dictionary plugin

When I upgraded to Jaunty the problem went away and the Run was being activated on script files.
I was happy and didn't know what fixed the problem.

Today I tried to find a meaning of a word in gnome-do. But there was no option. So I looked in the plugins and the gnome-dictionary wasn't enabled. So after enabling a few minutes later I tried to run a script file and it opened it in Gedit than running it. I nearly had a panic attack.

So I disabled the dictionary plugin and Gnome-Do went back to having Run for the script file.

Please fix this bug.
