I locked the icon to the launcher while Writer was running, and ever since it has been called "untitled 1 -OpenOffice Writer".
I think this is going to confuse me when working with several documents. Is there any way to change it to either OpenOffice or OpenOffice Writer?
Absolutely.
Somehow a local
.desktop
file of must have been created, with a weird naming. The local one will overrule the global one as long as it exists.How to solve
Unlock the current
Openoffice-Writer
-launcher (icon) from the Unity-LauncherRemove the local copy of the launcher: Navigate to
~/.local/share/applications
(~
stands for your home- directory,.local
is a directory in your home directory, hidden by default. To make it visible: in nautilus, press Ctrl+H to make it visible). Remove any reference toOpenOfficeWriter
.Log out/in, open Dash, type "writer" and drag the icon from Dash on to the launcher.
That should solve it.
