Bug ID: 435696
Summary: Validate relative paths in desktop files for
X-KDE-DBUS-Restricted-Interfaces
Product: kwin
Version: unspecified
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: platform-wayland
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: genalo...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
At the moment, to take a screenshot on Walyand, the
`X-KDE-DBUS-Restricted-Interfaces = org.kde.kwin.Screenshot` parameter must be
specified in the .desktop file. But this only works for absolute paths
specified in `Exec=`. Meven suggested to handle relative paths in this comment:
https://phabricator.kde.org/D29407#inline-171509, it has not been resolved.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
My application (https://github.com/crow-translate/crow-translate) uses text
recognition from the screen and in order to be able to capture the screen on
Walyand I need to hardcoded the full path in the .desktop file. This creates
some inconvenience, for example, for creating an AppImage.
The standard allows the use of relative paths:
