Not sure if you want a review from me but I'll comment anyway :-) This looks fine to me.

This isn't the first time something like this has happened (renamed .desktop files) I wonder (out loud) if it is worth changing this so that it is programatically populated at run time and checks the existence of a couple of known .desktop files and uses the correct one.
Although, this happens infrequently enough that I'm not sure it's worth doing that work.

Hey Chris,

Thanks for the review. I'll take a review from anyone who can actually get this merged:)

@veebers, what I'm not sure is that we need to support this. We have hardcoded ways to launch about 5 applications. That's weird. I don't understand why would we like to make it easier to launch those apps. Without the hardcoded values, it's still pretty easy to launch them.

What I would do is to depracate this functionality.

@townsend, can you please tell me why do you need this update? Are you launching the calculator in one of your tests?

@elopio

Yes, many of the Unity 7 Autopilot tests launch the calculator app and without this change, those tests fail due to Autopiplot not finding the correct .desktop file since it was renamed.

Any chance this can get approved, merged, and landed in the archive? Or some other method of choice that fixes this failure?

Thanks!

In the past it has been the Unity7 team responsible for approving the legacy branch. I go ahead and top approve it now. Sorry for any confusion.
