Title:
Custom .desktop-file doesn't show up in Unity
Status in Unity:
Confirmed
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Ubuntu: 13.10
Unity: 7.1.2+13.10.20131014.1-0ubuntu1
- Creating a fully compatible .desktop file in Ubuntu 13.10 and
placing it in either ~/.local/share/applications or
/usr/share/applications doesn't generate an icon in Unity.
- However, copying an exisiting launcher and editing it does show
result, albeit somewhat erratic - icon and exec does update but title
stays the same as the original .desktop.
- Here's a screenshot after a new launcher has been added "Mean Streets" (showing up as a desktop launcher in Nautilus), note the lack of the same in Unity:
