Bug ID: 463153
Summary: Discord identifies KDE Dolphin as Dolphin, the
Wii/Gamecube emulator
Classification: Applications
Product: dolphin
Version: unspecified
Platform: Microsoft Windows
OS: Microsoft Windows
Status: REPORTED
Severity: task
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: annoyingra...@gmail.com
CC: kfm-de...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have a windows computer prepared with both KDE dolphin and Discord installed
2. Configure discord to show your running games as your status, this may be set
by default.
3. Run KDE dolphin.
4. Observe in Discord, how your status is displayed as playing Dolphin, the
Wii/Gamecube emulator, known as dolphin-emu on linux.
Note that this will not appear in large servers with default settings in some
countries, so check it in a DM, or look for the streaming popup above your user
panel at the bottom of the channel list.
OBSERVED RESULT
Discord identifies the file browser as dolphin-emu, (only known as dolphin-emu
on linux, on windows it just goes by Dolphin) the Nintendo Wii/Gamecube
emulator. There is no way to tell Discord to ignore the application, or display
it as something else, as it is a "verified" application. Meaning there is no
way to remove the incorrect status for the end user but disable the
functionality entirely.
EXPECTED RESULT
Discord would have no reaction to the different application being opened, as it
is a file browser, not a game, and definitely not an emulator.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 11 21H2
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.100.0
Qt Version: 5.15.7
PROPOSED SOLUTIONS:
1: Rename the distributed dolphin.exe to `KDE-dolphin.exe`, or similar.
2: Contact discord to try to have the issue fixed on their end, as
`Dolphin.exe` refers to dolphin-emu, when `dolphin.exe` refers to the file
browser. Notice the capitalization difference. Discord's application
identification code could be changed to notice the capitalization difference
and ignore KDE dolphin. This would be the preferred solution as it follows the
KDE philosophy of a good solution always being better than a hacky one.
