Mindfulness at the Computer is a mindfulness and self-care application for people spending a lot of time in front of the computer
The application reminds you to take breaks from the computer, helps you remember to stay in touch with your body and be mindful of your breathing and body while sitting at the computer, and helps you concentrate on your inhaling and exhaling when you need a breathing pause
I did accidentally delete the icon from starter bar, and I don’t know how to get it back there!
@sabbamitta Do you mean from the system tray (lower right area on many systems)? In that case you just need to start the program again
Or if you mean a shortcut then you can create a shortcut by finding the executable file (in the base directory for the application) and then how to create a shortcut will vary between systems, it may be that you need to right-click-drag the file to the desktop (or another place), or in my own case (i use LXDE) i left-click drag and hold the ALT key, and when i drop the file (on the desktop for example) i will get a popup menu which has the option “link here”
@sabbamitta Okay i understand, i have used this interface before and if i remember once you start an application it will be shown to the left and then you can right click to “pin” it to that area so that it’s always shown there, even when it’s not running, can you do this for our application also?
Is there a difference from how alpha 4 works? We haven’t made any changes to this AFAIK, though the underlying Qt framework has been updated
Yes, it was as you describe when I first started the alpha 4. I pinned it there, and there it remained. But now I deleted it accidentally, and I can’t get it there again. I have even deleted the app from my computer and downloaded it again (alpha 5), but it didn’t help.
I’ve asked in our project chat to see if anyone knows an answer to this, i haven’t been able to find a solution myself when searching, only this complicated approach which may work for you: https://askubuntu.com/a/224021/360991
This sounds far too nice & easy, but unfortunately doesn’t work. The other one looks indeed a bit complicated, and I’m not very much tempted to try it out right now. Maybe when I’ve looots of time…
Sometimes when it is on there appears a question mark in the launcher, sometimes two (sometimes none):
Sometimes it is possible to pin one of them to the launcher, sometimes it still disappears when closing the app. In any case, even if it remains, it is not possible to start the app from the question mark.
I remember having a problem like this previously back when i was using Ubuntu myself, but i can’t remember how i solved it. Maybe you can ask here? https://askubuntu.com/
I have re-installed the old app—then my icon is back in the launcher. But… I cannot pin it there. Each time I try it doesn’t keep.
And in any case for the new version this doesn’t work. No icon, whatever I do. If I want to use the app (old or new) I have to open the folder each time and start it with the executable file.
All: Has anyone tried the new “random breathing phrase” feature? It’s available in the “dialog” section in the settings where you can change it (default is “same” but we are changing the default to “random” in the next version)
Finally, after a day or so of rest and at a new boot of my computer the old app gives me now the launcher icon again and allows to pin it where it belongs. So I’m using the old version…
Okay, i’m glad that is working. For alpha 5: could you ask on https://askubuntu.com/ if they can help you with your problem there? (I could ask instead but there may be follow up questions that i can’t answer)
I just got a notice from my virus scanner that it has quarantined the alpha 5 release because it believes it is infected with malware, classified as Win64:Malware-gen. However, according to How to remove Win64:Malware-Gen Trojan (Virus Removal Guide) , that’s their name for a generic Trojan. So it could be a false positive. Has anyone else run into this issue?
