no feedback when you Start a journal entry that no activity can open

Description

I upgraded to candidate-765 from build 650 and forgot I had no activities. I copied a PDF and .odt file from USB flash drive to the journal. I can hover over the icon and a menu appears with Start; and I can click (>) for more details then click the [>] Start menu item. But these do nothing.

The JournalActivity log contains "WARNING: root: No activity can open this object, application/pdf" or application/vnd.oasis.... I think the Journal should show some kind of warning, or better it should disable the Start menu item and replace its hover dropdown with "Start (no installed activity can open this)".

This is still the case in staging-27 (an 8.2.1 pre-release), e.g. stick in a USB with a .mp3 file on it.

Hmm, not sure it can go in 0.84 like that. It adds a new string which I find problematic. Has it been accepted upstream?

That's old. Was a heads-up. See SL328 for what was actually committed to HEAD.

It adds a new string which I find problematic.

The committed patch does not add a new string, it re-uses "No activity to start entry".

Has it been accepted upstream?

A patch 3543be2 has been committed. See SL328. It also applies fine to sucrose-0.84.

  • resolution set to fixed

Tested in 10.1.3 os351 that "No activity to start entry" appears in grayed-out text in the journal for RPM files (which Sugar does not know about) instead of the "Start" menu choice. Verified this both with an RPM on a USB stick as well as copied to the main Journal. Switched the language in Sugar to Spanish to verify that the text string has been translated to at least one other language.

Used copy-to-journal to copy a text file to a Sugar entry with a bogus mime type and verified that Sugar properly no longer knew what to do with this file as well.
