Ubuntu
alacarte package

Alacarte won't add separators.

Asked by Tobias Brodel

Hi, I'm using ubuntu 12.04 and I've installed the ubuntu studio desktop, audio and audio-plugins metapackages.

When attempting to alter the applications menu in xfce4.8 with alacarte the program doesn't allow me to add separators.

Here's the terminal output of one such attempt:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/alacarte/Alacarte/MainWindow.py", line 330, in on_new_separator_button_clicked
    self.editor.createSeparator(parent, after=after)
  File "/usr/share/alacarte/Alacarte/MenuEditor.py", line 237, in createSeparator
    self.__positionItem(parent, ('Separator',), before, after)
  File "/usr/share/alacarte/Alacarte/MenuEditor.py", line 661, in __positionItem
    current = parent.contents.index(item)
ValueError: ('Separator',) is not in list

Thanks in advance for your time and help.
Toby

Thanks for your reply Miha, but i'm not sure I understand you fully. Are you saying I should report a bug for this issue, or that you will report this to the devs or both?
