I have created my own .desktop file for an application (sublimetext) in gnome 3 (fedora 16) I have succeeded in that:
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=Sublime Text 2
Comment=Text Editor
Terminal=false
Exec=sublime
Icon=/home/asher/apps/SublimeText2/Icon.png
Type=Application
Categories=TextEditor;Tools;
X-Ayatana-Desktop-Shortcuts=NewWindow
[NewWindow Shortcut Group]
Name=New Window
Exec=sublime
I want to add it to my favorites so it's locked to the sidebar. I did that, as you can see in the first screenshot, where no windows are open. The problem is, when I then open the program, another icon displays in the dockbar. The second icon is where the windows for the program are listed. The windows are consolidated to one icon, as you can see in the third screenshoot with two windows open (only two icons, not three).
Is there a way to make the favorited icon be the same as the icon that shows when the app launches? Does it have to be done in the program, or is this something I can do through a gnome 3 config file?
there's nothing wrong with your system.
The duplicated launcher icons explained:
The different icons are different commandline options. Some context applications with call the associated *.desktop icon. The exec option of the icon will depend on how the application is called.
Some of the Icons you show in your image may be obvious because of the difference in the way they are named. You can see the difference in the way the app is called by right clicking and clicking on properties to see other differences.
Some of the *.desktop files have a %U argument, used so the application will accept arguments.
Some of the Launchers are different commands that are called differently and are named differently often by a symbolic link.
Some exampes from the list in you image are:
Name: Online Accounts
Command: unity-control-center credentials
Name: Online Accounts
Command: Online account credentials and settings
Name: Personal File Sharing
Command: gnome-file-share-properties
Name: Rhythmbox
Command: rhythmbox %U
Name: Rhythmbox
Command rhythmbox-client --select-source %U

I believe that I need to set the $FPP_EDITOR environment variable to be able to change the default editor that fpp would invoke when opening files.
I have aliased mvim to vimer -t with alias mvim="vimer -t". This means that the mvim command should open new files in the currently available (operating system level) macvim window, and even if a sequence of files is included, it should open them in new tabs in that (operating system level) window. So if I already have an instance of macvim running and I try to pass in 4 files, I now have one window with 5 tabs in it.
But when I try to use mvim as the editor (with export FPP_EDITOR="mvim"), it opens the files in new macvim (operating system level) window, in separate (vim buffer level) windows in a single tab. So if I already have an instance of macvim running and I try to pass in 4 files, I now have two macvim "instances" running in separate OS-level windows, one with 1 tab with 1 buffer-level window, and one with 1 tab with 4 buffer-level windows.
It seems like FPP must be doing more than just passing in files in a sequence as a suffix to the $FPP_EDITOR command. I'm not sure what that is, nor exactly how to figure it out.
This is an answer to the question (technically) that I figured out as I was writing out the question.
But, it's missing all the right extra info about what was going wrong, so I'm going to this as an answer, but will happily accept another answer that can do more than just answer the question per se, but can give some background info about why the aliasing only sorta works.
The key though (if you just want a solution) is to use
export FPP_EDITOR="vimer -t"
and this performs as desired. For some reason it does not seem that setting the environment variable to a command that is aliased uses the aliased command, if it has an available original meaning (which mvim does).
I have the newest version of PhpStorm.
Previously I worked with Eclipse and had the opportunity to see my whole workspace. In PhpStorm I need to open one instance per project.
In my daily workflow I need to search for strings in my workspace. In
PhpStorm I would need to switch from instance to instance and need to execute the string search again and again per instance.
Is there another solution or do I really need to execute my search multiple times?
In addition eclipse had the "Open Resource" function for the whole workspace. Does PhpStorm offers the Open Resource for whole workspace too?
In PhpStorm I need to open one instance per project.
That's correct -- currently having more than one project in one frame is not supported.

You can always attach any folder (from any project) to current project as Additional Content Root (will be listed as separate branch in Project View panel).
Settings (Preferences on Mac) | Project | Directories --> "Add Content Root" button.
Note that it will still be treated as one project (no separate settings) -- additional content root is treated as just a bunch of files/folders.

Look for commands under Navigate menu.
Navigate | File... Ctrl + Shift + N (using Default keymap) is
most likely what you need.
Useful info:

PhpStorm has separate keymap that similar to what Eclipse uses.
I may be missing the obvious, but can't seem to solve this fairly simple & typical case (with v3 build 3022 on Debian or XP, in case it matters):
Start Sublime Text opening a project "myprj", specified on its command-line,
using default.sublime-project located under that project's dir (say "/repo/myprj"),
automatically re-opening the last open files of that project (i.e. its workspace),
using default.sublime-workspace for that (also from the same project dir)
but (obviously) not auto-opening any other files remembered from non-project sessions,
and automatically saving all open files (to the above default.sublime-workspace) on exit.
Ideally:
$ sublime_text --project /repo/myprj/default.sublime-project
should just work. But it doesn't (see below).
Another approximation that seemed reasonable:
setting "hot_exit" and "remember_open_files" to false, and then invoking ST with:
$ sublime_text --data /repo/myprj --project default.sublime-project
But ST3 either doesn't find the project file (via --data), unless I chdir there first (--data seems to be no longer supported?), and it either doesn't auto-open any workspace files from last time (despite a previous "Project / Save Workspace As..."), or, if I set "remember_open_files" back to true, it just re-opens the last open files regardless of the project given on the command line.
I guess the issue is the workspace file not being handled automatically for some reason, and I'm just missing some trivial step somewhere. (The official docs (and also the unofficial) seem to discuss command-line switches for OS X only, and asking for --help didn't actually help with this one.)
(Please note: I wouldn't like to launch ST first, and then switch to some project from inside manually, and I also don't want to store the sublime-project/-workspace files outside of the prj. dir.) Thanks a lot!
I seached for a solution for a similar problem these days and didn't find a proper way. So i created an automator app with a small apple script. Maybe this helps you too.
Open Automator and Choose news Application.
Create an action to start Sublime Text 2
Insert an action to perfom the following apple script:
delay 0.2
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Sublime Text 2"
tell menu bar 1
tell menu bar item "Project"
tell menu "Project"
tell menu item "Recent Projects"
tell menu "Recent Projects"
click menu item "~/yourproject.sublime-project"
keystroke "p" using {command down, shift down}
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
For anyone still looking to do this, you can launch the built-in command line tool and launch it with a project like so (Mac OSX):
"/Applications/Sublime Text.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl" --project "absolute-path-to-your.sublime-project"
I am working with TS-7500 (ARM 9) board running Debian Linux (Linux ts7500 2.6.24.4). It is connected to a couple of sensors and is running driver code to talk to these sensors.
Every time the C program starts, it reads a couple of config-parameters from a config-file and starts sensors with those values.
So the task at hand is : presenting a web interface to show/edit these config-parameters to user. The task of the web interface can be summarized in four steps :
Read config-parameters from the config-file and show the current configuration
Allow user to change the configuration
Capture and save the changes to same config-file
These config-parameters could be presented as drop-down menu items or radio-buttons. And I have a linux background script which restarts the C prg when config-file is modified.
I know TS-7500 runs Tomcat. Now please suggest a good way to handle this problem. I have heard about using Servlet and JSPs (am not very familiar with those actually). Which one of them is suitable to generate HTML pages dynamically ? (as I see everytime I need to generate a new HTML page by selecting the current configuration while displaying the page).
Sorry for being very elaborate !
EDIT : Beeps ! No reply ? Come on guyz, is the question not clear ? Or no one has ever faced a similar problem (design problem) ??
The solution would be to use a PHP in addition with Apache web server ! PHP script could be used to
Read the config file and capturing the parameters
Generate a HTML form (by pre-selecting the dropdown menus and radio buttons from the already read parameters)
And capturing the new edits and saving them to config file.
PHP script must be placed in /var/www/ directory of the embedded board. Then from any system, it could be accessed just by keying the IP address of the board and the script name using a simple web browser.
How is the status bar is customized? I noticed in this youtube video (at 3:05 - image below), the status bar looks very different than the default one that I see after installing tmux on my Mac OS X.
In particular, I like how the middle of the status bar shows the current program and the left side shows the name of only the current session. In comparison, my setup shows the name of all of the sessions and doesn't show the current application (for the currently focused pane).
If anyone could show me a sample configuration that could do this or show me where I can find the customization rules, that would be great! Thanks!
Update: In case anyone is curious, I was able to customize a status bar that is similar to the one seen in the video (minor tweaks) and you can find my config file on my github if you'd like to see an example.
The man page has very detailed descriptions of all of the various options (the status bar is highly configurable). Your best bet is to read through man tmux and pay particular attention to those options that begin with status-.
So, for example, status-bg red would set the background colour of the bar.
The three components of the bar, the left and right sections and the window-list in the middle, can all be configured to suit your preferences. status-left and status-right, in addition to having their own variables (like #S to list the session name) can also call custom scripts to display, for example, system information like load average or battery time.
The option to rename windows or panes based on what is currently running in them is automatic-rename. You can set, or disable it globally with:
setw -g automatic-rename [on | off]
The most straightforward way to become comfortable with building your own status bar is to start with a vanilla one and then add changes incrementally, reloading the config as you go.1
You might also want to have a look around on github or bitbucket for other people's conf files to provide some inspiration. You can see mine here2.
1 You can automate this by including this line in your .tmux.conf:
bind R source-file ~/.tmux.conf \; display-message "Config reloaded..."
You can then test your new functionality with Ctrlb,Shiftr. tmux will print a helpful error message—including a line number of the offending snippet—if you misconfigure an option.
2 Note: I call a different status bar depending on whether I am in X or the console - I find this quite useful.
I used tmux-powerline to fully pimp my tmux status bar. I was googling for a way to change to background of the status bar when your typing a tmux command. When I stumbled on this post I thought I should mention it for completeness.
Update: This project is in a maintenance mode and no future functionality is likely to be added. tmux-powerline, with all other powerline projects, is replaced by the new unifying powerline. However this project is still functional and can serve as a lightweight alternative for non-python users.
I have been playing about with tmux today, trying to customised a little here and there, managed to get battery info displaying on the status right with a ruby script.
Copy the ruby script from http://natedickson.com/blog/2013/04/30/battery-status-in-tmux/ and save it as:
battinfo.rb in ~/bin
To make it executable make sure to run:
chmod +x ~/bin/battinfo.rb
edit your ~/.tmux.config and include this line
set -g status-right "#[fg=colour155]#(pmset -g batt | ~/bin/battinfo.rb) | #[fg=colour45]%d %b %R"
Do C-b, :show which will show you all your current settings. /green, nnn will find you which properties have been set to green, the default. Do C-b, :set window-status-bg cyan and the bottom bar should change colour.
List available colours for tmux
You can tell more easily by the titles and the colours as they're actually set in your live session :show, than by searching through the man page, in my opinion. It is a very well-written man page when you have the time though.
If you don't like one of your changes and you can't remember how it was originally set, you can open do a new tmux session. To change settings for good edit ~/.tmux.conf with a line like set window-status-bg -g cyan. Here's mine: https://gist.github.com/9083598
