Description

"project properties" misses from both the "file" and the "settings" menus.

The icons problem surfaced on Ubuntu also when approaching qgis 1.7, then it was solved.

QGIS-master installed with the nightly builds repository.

Hi!
I'm running 1.8 rc under Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, no entry for "project properties" on the menu yet.
here is the output when running QGIS from terminal

Warning: void DBusMenuExporterPrivate::addAction(QAction*, int): Already tracking action "Project Properties..." under id 125 Warning: void DBusMenuExporterPrivate::fillLayoutItem(DBusMenuLayoutItem*, QMenu*, int, int, const QStringList&): No id for action Warning: void DBusMenuExporterPrivate::fillLayoutItem(DBusMenuLayoutItem*, QMenu*, int, int, const QStringList&): No id for action

Hope it helps

I'm guessing that the action should be removed from the Settings menu with removeAction() before adding it to any other menu.

The following 1-liner patch (following my previous comment) resolves the problem:

diff --git a/src/app/qgisapp.cpp b/src/app/qgisapp.cpp
index 452c3d3..1402559 100644
--- a/src/app/qgisapp.cpp
+++ b/src/app/qgisapp.cpp

   {
     QAction* before = mActionNewPrintComposer;
+    mSettingsMenu->removeAction( mActionProjectProperties );
     mFileMenu->insertAction( before, mActionProjectProperties );
     mFileMenu->insertSeparator( before );
-    mSettingsMenu->removeAction( mActionProjectProperties );
   }

   // View Menu

This patch should probably applied to master and 1.8 .

Workaround is to use the "CRS Status" icon on the bottom right which opens the Project Properties dialog at the CRS tab.
This should probably added to the 1.8 known issues.

The missing icons bug is unrelated, though.

Just to clarify - is the menu icon missing for all menu items? Is this when using "normal" Unity?

Because in a VM, I see all icons fine - but this is with Unity-2d
