Description Jérôme Guelfucci editbugs 2009-02-20 15:23:34 CET
"Execute" is a rather geeky term, I would say that "Launch" is more understandable and welcoming for a normal user.

Patch implementing this

This patch changes the label of the button to "Launch" and changes the checkbox to "Close after launch".
Comment 2 Jannis Pohlmann editbugs 2009-07-09 00:02:27 CEST
This is fixed in revision 30225:

        * src/xfce-appfinder-window.c: Don't use startup notification for now.
          As we use exo-open to launch desktop entries, people usually end up
          with annoying waiting cursors and a lot of temporary exo-open items
          in the taskbar. Add tooltips showing the categories and command for
          each item in the tree view (original patch by Jérôme Guelfucci). Use
          "launch" instead of "execute" in the GUI (patch by Jérôme Guelfucci,
          fixes bug #4968). Add support for searching the Exec field of desktop
          entries (original patch by Jérôme Guelfucci, fixes bug #4969).
Comment 3 Jérôme Guelfucci editbugs 2009-10-18 12:51:31 CEST
The button is still labelled "Execute". I'll attach a patch to fix this.
