Feature changed by: Sławomir Lach (Lachu) Feature #310112, revision 2 Title: Desktop files with debuging feature openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Neutral Requested by: Sławomir Lach (lachu) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Often users don't know how track problems and there's no simple sollutions for begginiers. I think, that adding additional fields to . desktop files will helps a lot. Thease fileds should been named DEBUG_MODE_ON and DEBUG_MODE_RUNNER.   Once DEBUG_MODE_RUNNER is not present, there's should exist mechanism to debug(ex. running konsole and application on it ; or better redirecting stderr and stdout onto file and asks user to display it/send/etc. after application quits). Test Case: Test that dialog with question about displaying log file don't show before application quits. Use Case: Better can't run some application, because some libraries isn't present on the system. It will only right click on application runner and select debug mode. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: * Developers of application could add custom debug mode with full featured information gathering and sending log file to - vendor. It could make support better. * Better forums support. * A way - to create automated tools, which reads logs and perform some tasks(if - user accept) * Many user don't know how solving problems on Ubuntu. - Running application in terminal don't always be pragmatic, because - xterm have limited buffer for text.
