But how to fit both into a single .desktop file?
the .desktop files of kate an RKWard are actually not that different. the important difference seems to be the very behaviour of the tools themselves: kate is always launched using "kate -b %U", and if "%U" happens to be empty, it launches a new instance, if not it tries to open it in a running instance. currently, RKWard is being launched "rkward -qwindowtitle %c" to get new instances, and "rkward --reuse %F" to open files in existing ones, by the two .desktop files, respectively. now, RKWard reuses a running instance regardless of "%F" if launched with "-- reuse". so in order to have it all in one desktop file, we'd have to change RKWard's behaviour: if launched given a file, try to reuse a running session, if not start a new one. this would probably render the "--reuse" parameter obsolete. viele grüße :: m.eik -- dipl. psych. meik michalke institut f"ur experimentelle psychologie abt. f"ur diagnostik und differentielle psychologie heinrich-heine-universit"at d-40204 d"usseldorf
