Status
------

This change has been discarded.


Review request for KDE Frameworks.


Bugs: 335878 and 338242
    https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=335878
    https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=338242


Repository: kinit


Description
-------

This fixes execution of scripts other than ".desktop"-files in the ~/.config/autostart directory when starting a session. This functionality was removed in https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/118977/ because of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=335878.

Things that still have to be discussed:
* Is kinit the right place for this functionality? I think it makes sense because all other autostart functionality is there.
* Is kioclient5 the correct way to start the scripts?
* Which kind of files in autostart-directories gets executed?
 * I chose a simple *.sh regex for testing purposes.
 * In KSMServer and KDE4 only obvious backup files (*.bak, *~, %*% etc.) were excluded.


Diffs

Diff: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/119773/diff/


Testing
-------

Works for scripts that exit and those that run the whole session. Now the only limitation is the *.sh wildcard.


Thanks,

Martin Yrjölä
