[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #44368] Opening an Octave file via a desktop application does not open file on Octave editor

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #44368 (project octave):

I mean the default behavior of running Octave with no arguments,

* no filenames - open Octave with the command window

The workaround of doing --eval "edit %1" breaks that behavior.

So I thought there would still be a need for a .desktop entry file for just
running Octave as a program, not to edit a file, right?

I was thinking the .desktop file we have now would be the main one that would
show up in the normal application menu, and a second .desktop file would be
used for file associations and open the editor with the given file arguments.
This would have the NoDisplay=true attribute set so it doesn't show up in
menus and is only used for file type associations.

Or is there any way to reduce all of those options to a single .desktop file?
Or did I miss something?
