Inconsistancy in the script apps

[picca]

Hello, during the packaging of larch, I found this in the larch/apps.py file

'''

App Name, icon, terminal, Script / pyshortcuts command

MainApps = (('Larch CLI', 'larch', True, 'larch'),
('Larch Updater', 'larch', True, '_ -m pip install --upgrade xraylarch'),
('Larch GUI', 'larch', False, 'larch --wxgui'),
('XAS Viewer', 'onecone', False, 'xas_viewer'),
('Larix', 'onecone', False, 'larix'),
('GSE MapViewer', 'gse_xrfmap', False, 'gse_mapviewer'),
('XRF Viewer', 'ptable', False, 'larch_xrf'),
('XRD1D Viewer', 'larch', False, 'larch_xrd1d') )
'''

but the setup.cfg file contain this

[options.entry_points]
console_scripts =
    larch = larch.apps:run_larch
    feff6l = larch.apps:run_feff6l
    feff8l = larch.apps:run_feff8l
    larch_server = larch.apps:run_larch_server
    larix = larch.apps:run_larix
    xasviewer = larch.apps:run_xas_viewer
    larch_xrf = larch.apps:run_larch_xrf
    larch_xrd1d = larch.apps:run_larch_xrd1d
    gse_mapviewer = larch.apps:run_gse_mapviewer
    epics_xrf = larch.apps:run_epics_xrf

So my question is:

xasviewer or xas_viewer ?

@picca

xasviewer or xas_viewer

larix. ;).

In fact, we should probably do

## ('XAS Viewer', 'onecone', False, 'xas_viewer'),
('XAS Viewer', 'onecone', False, 'larix'),
('Larix', 'onecone', False, 'larix'),

in the Mainapps dict.

ok, for now I generate the desktop files from this MainApps variable with this script

https://salsa.debian.org/science-team/xraylarch/-/blob/master/debian/build-desktop?ref_type=heads

So I fixed the code and used asviewer for now.

Do you think that it would be possible to add in the MainApps tuple, the Comment which appear as description in your code ?

@picca good idea, will do. Thanks,

I propose to add this in #502
