skill-desktop-launcher's Issues

open folder but didn't do that..open firefox to

hi sir..i have problem when i want to open firefox and open something desktop..when i said open firefox but didn't do anything.

"Open firefox"

Set my custom skill link: https://github.com/MycroftAI/skill-desktop-launcher.git
"download custom skill"
** installs **
"mycroft open firefox"
"I don't know what that means"
"mycroft open konsole"
"I don't understand"
"mycroft open gimp"
"Sorry I didn't catch that"
"mycroft open documents folder"
"I don't understand"

Kubuntu 18.04?

And also what's the easiest way to set up simple commands like "hear this, do 'dolphin ~/Documents' ?
Honestly all I need is a voice recognizer to link to custom bash commands/scripts and for text input.

What happened to this repository?

The only reason I'd want mycroft is to control my pc. Otherwise, I have alexa.

Unexpected Indent Trying Load Skill

On a fresh install of mycroft desktop and this skill getting the following:

Code it references:

subprocess.call( [ "killall", "-9", app_name ] )

Thanks

not all programms launch?

Hi, this skill is one of my favourites but it seems that not all programs launch, even when entered by keyboard in the plasma-app.
a few examples:
hey Mycroft, launch thunderbird : does not work/ Mycroft does not understand

Anything that can be done ?

Thanks and best regards,
Johan

How will I install this skill?

I can't install it with mycroft-msm. mycroft-msm install desktop-launcher doesn't work. Also, I can't find this skill in mycroft skills page.
