How install Quicklist Editor

Asked by jovial

Hello

Your project is very interesting , I would like to include it on a tutorial to configure Unity

Quicklist Editor is quoted on some sites and blog
For example, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/quicklist-editor-for-unity-launcher.html
After install, it says run ~ / unity-launcher-editor/unitylaunchereditor/main.py
In the last( rev61) main.py dont exist:

jll@jll-assus:~/unity-launcher-editor/unitylaunchereditor$ ls
addassistant.py appgui.py core data dialogs __init__.py locale mainwindow.py newlauncher.py utils.py widgets widgets.py
jll@jll-assus:~/unity-launcher-editor/unitylaunchereditor

Comments on blog say it don't run !
So my question is how to install Quicklist Editor for Unity Launcher and run it for simple user.

Still not able to get it working ..

Running ~/unity-launcher-editor/ule appears to load a non-functioning version.

able to download

  sudo apt-get install unity-launcher-editor

Either this ppa:eloaders/ule no longer exists, or it has restricted access. It is not visible in the owner's page, and if I attempt to go to this url: https://launchpad.net/~eloaders/+archive/ule I get the message "Sorry, you don't have permission to access this page. ".

Still having problems here. The ule script runs and produces a dialog window, but the right side (individual entry details) remains unpopulated. Attempting various operations like clicking on an existing launcher entry or trying to add a new one produces consistent errors:

File "/home/bob/unity-launcher-editor/unitylaunchereditor/widgets/launcherview.py", line 134, in _on_row_change
    self.emit("selection-changed", model, row_iter, objDesktop)
TypeError: could not convert type gtk.ListStore to PyObject required for parameter 0
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/bob/unity-launcher-editor/unitylaunchereditor/dialogs/app.py", line 313, in __on_laucher_button_click
    dialog = AddLauncherDialog(self)
  File "/home/bob/unity-launcher-editor/unitylaunchereditor/dialogs/launcherdialog.py", line 59, in __init__
    fra=PageFromSystem()
  File "/home/bob/unity-launcher-editor/unitylaunchereditor/addassistant.py", line 129, in __init__
    self.populate()
  File "/home/bob/unity-launcher-editor/unitylaunchereditor/addassistant.py", line 162, in populate
    self.lvwApplications.add_row(row)
  File "/home/bob/unity-launcher-editor/unitylaunchereditor/widgets/launcherview.py", line 209, in add_row
    new_iter = self.listmodel.append(row_data)
TypeError: value is of wrong type for this column

The script appears to be non-functional, at least in Ubuntu Oneiric.

Can you help with this problem?
