Description:
Icon launcher for hydrogen is not visible in gnome applications. SVG icon for hydrogen is not in the correct directory. Additional info: * package version(s) hydrogen-0.9.6.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz * config and/or log files etc. n/a Steps to reproduce: Install hydrogen From Gnome, open the application browser and search for the hydrogen application. The hydrogen application is not listed. Hydrogen can still be started from the command line or run dialog. The hydrogen package does contain /usr/share/applications/hydrogen.desktop but Gnome does not seem to recognize it. Also, though the desktop file seems to reference the h2-icon svg image correctly, the hydrogen package places the icon in /usr/share/hydrogen/data/img/gray/h2-icon.svg instead of /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/h2-icon.svg. I tried copying this icon to the correct directory, updating the icon cache with /usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache, and even restarting Gnome but the hydrogen application still did not appear in the applications list. |
This task depends upon
I just checked in Gnome, Gnome Classic, and Plasma.
Gnome Classic and Plasma list the Hydrogen app in their application launcher.
Gnome (regular) does not list the app. I have no idea why. Maybe at this point it is an upstream issue or a gnome issue?
The problem was that the application wasn't being listed at all in Gnome. However, with current version 0.9.6.1-2 of the hydrogen package, it was being listed in Gnome on a different laptop that I installed Arch on a month ago.
I just combed through my settings directory and found an old .local/share/applications/hydrogen.desktop file that I had created last year to try to solve the missing app problem. It was overriding the updated hydrogen.desktop file in the current 0.9.6.1-2 version of the hydrogen package. I deleted .local/share/applications/hydrogen.desktop and now the Hydrogen app is correctly listed in the Gnome launcher.
Thank you for your help. :-)
