Ok, nevermind. I think I mostly understand why now...<br><br>I followed the instructions in the Maemo Developers Tutorial [1] creating a .desktop file for unzip and an xml mime-type definition. The downside for this is that "unzip" shows up in the application list, but filemanager does claim to be "loading unzip." I guess the real downside is that it doesn't unzip :-) Still not sure why you think you need a %f, but this obviously isn't as straight forward as it should be. I'd assume the Filemanager is waiting for a dbus response from the application it just launched, which the commandline app "unzip" just won't do.

<br>P. S.: Oh, just in case:<br>[How] can I use "%f" in a desktop file's "Exec" line?</blockquote></span><div><br> I definitely won't be able to provide an answer, but I also don't even understand the question. Obviously "%f" would be the filename path, but what would be "calling" this .desktop file? My experience has been .desktop files either show up on the Gnome desktop on a PC, or in the application list on either a desktop or here on maemo. What would tell the .desktop file what to place into %f?
<br><br>Perhaps the reason for a lack of answer is that nobody understand why you're trying to do that... but perhaps I'm just that far behind ;)<br><br>--Paul<br></div></div>
