BUG: gnome-panel 2.12.2 does not see png

[yves@…]

I try to set an icon to a panel-launcher (through the properties dialog) and /opt/local/share/pixmaps which is full of png files appears empty in the file browser

I have png previews working in nautilus, though

[yves@…]

there is one more thing ... icons inside the menus are displayed OK

[yves@…]

I did not say everything ... I get no splash at gnome startup

[yves@…]

Well, the splash-screen is now showing. I guess it did not yesterday because I had stuff compiling in the background and it does not last long.

[yves@…]

a dp-gnome-splash

I am unable to recreate the problem you are having with PNGs.

Try this: sudo update-mime-database /opt/local/share/mime

I am trying to figure out the optimum port(s) to run that command in.

[rhwood@…]

Please submit your splash-screen in a separate bug, labelled for GNOME 2.14 and I will get in there as I port that version of GNOME.

[yves@…]

Try this: sudo update-mime-database /opt/local/share/mime

I don't have this command installed anywhere, to which port does it belong ?

[yves@…]

(From update of attachment 6770) does not belong here

[rhwood@…]

gnome-panel needs a depends_build on shared-mime-data

this command is provided by port shared-mime-data

[yves@…]

mmm, would you bet on it ?

Bilbo:~ yves$ sudo port install shared-mime-data Password: Error: Port shared-mime-data not found Bilbo:~ yves$ port search mime shared-mime-info devel/shared-mime-info 0.15 Database of common types. gnome-mime-data gnome/gnome-mime-data 2.4.2 This module contains the base MIME and Application database for GNOME.

[yves@…]

it really is shared-mime-info, I fixed the Portfile

Maybe the Portfile also needs

export XDG_DATA_DIRS=/opt/local/share export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/opt/local/etc/xdg

?

export XDG_DATA_DIRS=/opt/local/share export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/opt/local/etc/xdg

dump these in your .profile and/or .xinitrc file(s) to ensure that they work.

I mean the post-install command wil also need these variables to work, so it might be better no to bet that they are already in the user's .profile

And shouldn't it be be post-activate ?

[rhwood@…]

The warnings thrown by update-mime-database seem to be just that warnings. The port command does not seem to be affected one way or the other by the XDG_* environment variables.

Since gnome-panel does not install any mime information of its own, and is just a consumer of mime data, post-install or post-activate can be used without ill effect.

[rhwood@…]

Can this error still be reproduced?

[yves@…]

as far as I know, adding shared-mime-info dependency fixed the problem
