Details

Description:

The package sqlitebrowser doesn't provider any icon or any suitable .desktop file to start the application from a graphical environment.

The upstream package provides a SVG icon (sqlitebrowser-sqlb-3.2.0/images/sqlitebrowser.svg) and a desktop file (sqlitebrowser-sqlb-3.2.0/distri/sqlitebrowser.desktop) but these files are unused by the build process.

These files should be shipped inside the package allowing a simpler access to the application

Beware that the author's desktop file uses a fixed path for the icon (/usr/share/sqlitebrowser/sqlitebrowser.svg) instead of the regular approach to use the current theme. This file could need a simple fix if the SVG icon is saved under the hicolor icon theme.

Additional info:
* sqlitebrowser 3.2.0-1

Steps to reproduce:

# pacman -S sqlitebrowser
# pacman -Ql sqlitebrowser
This task depends upon

The package sqlitebrowser 3.2.0-2 provides two icons, a svg and a png which clearly is not a true icon but an application screenshot.

Please remove the sqlitebrowser.png file and the desktop file will automatically pick the svg file, which is a true application icon.

Futhermore the package doesn't call update-desktop-database to update the desktop files database and the mime types.
Please call update-desktop-database in a .install file and add the desktop-file-utils dependency.

Try to run namcap next time, it gives a lot of hints :)
