Wie erstelle ich einen Unity Launcher, der die Dateiüberwachung durchführt?

Ich möchte einen Launcher erstellen, der dasselbe tut wie das Papierkorbsymbol, in dem verschiedene Schnelllisten angezeigt werden, je nachdem, ob sich Elemente im Papierkorb befinden oder nicht.

Ich möchte etwas wie: Wenn ein Ordner Avorhanden ist, A,B,Cauf der Schnellliste anzeigen, wenn der Ordner Anicht vorhanden ist, D,E,Fauf der Schnellliste anzeigen.

Folgendes funktioniert:

1. Erstellen Sie zwei Dateien: mylauncher.desktop und mylauncher.py mit den unten angegebenen Inhalten.
2. Machen Sie mylauncher.desktop zu einer ausführbaren Datei.
3. Fügen Sie mylauncher.desktop zum Launcher von entity hinzu.
4. Bearbeiten Sie Ordnernamen und Ordnerpositionen in mylauncher.py nach Bedarf.
5. Führen Sie python mylauncher.pyim Hintergrund. Sie müssen dies einem Ihrer Startskripte hinzufügen.

Inhalt von mylauncher.desktop:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=My Launcher
Comment=A,B,C if A else D,E,F
Exec=nautilus %U
Icon=nautilus
Terminal=false
StartupNotify=true
Type=Application
OnlyShowIn=GNOME;Unity;
Actions=;

Inhalt von mylauncher.py:

#My old file monitoring should work. But in case you want to change the criteria for modifying quicklists, it is better to do the following:
