Bug Description

Hey, I am LOVING the drawers! It's somthing I've always wanted on Unity! I do have one problem, though. Is there a way to access the file's properites when inside the Drawer? For example, my icon for AndYetItMoves the game doesn't work when clicked, so I tried putting the actual file that executes the game. The only problem is it only opens up gedit to show the code. Usually I'd go into properites and hit check the "Allow executing file as program" but I can't do that from here. Is there a way to do that now, or are you already planning it for an update?

When the 'AndYetItMoves.desktop' file is added from /usr/share/applications, the last 's' is removed from the exec line.

I suspect it's the function that strips off the %s from Exec line files.

As I suspected... strip just removed the terminal s. would happen with any of the substrings I gave it. Here's a patch that fixes the problem. It will be applied in the next release (today or tomorrow). To apply it yourself in the meantime to version 12.07.5, do the following:

cd /opt/extras.ubuntu.com/drawers/drawers
patch < 'downloadpath'/execline.patch
