Hi,
Gnome 3 (3.10 and 3.12) under fedora 20 has no "add to favorites" option for the dash or top bar context menu. I'd like to re-enable this. Is this possible? Or does anyone know how this apparently standard option has been disabled?
Thanks, Marcin

It hasn't - as of 3.14, it is still expected to be there. The only exceptions are windows for which we don't find an associated .desktop file (either because there is none, or it is not in a standard location, or it fails our heuristics to match WM_CLASS to application name) - in that case we cannot know how to launch the window again, so all we could do for a favorite is remembering the icon/name used, but it would be completely useless otherwise. If it does happen for all applications (in particular those that show up in the overview's app picker), you either found a rare bug(*), or you are using an extension that somehow breaks the context menu.
(*) rare because GNOME 3.10 was released a year ago, and this is the first report I am aware of
Ah, I see, thank you. This specifically does seem to affect programs which I have invoked from the command line.
