Desktop file doesn't show up when snap is installed

snap

Hey everyone,

my snap package has a desktop file next to the snapcraft.yaml file, as the snapcraft manual describes in a folder called snap/gui/ This file also gets correctly placed into the snap in meta/gui/ but it never appears in the unity dash/menu when installed.

Is there something I’m missing?

The snaps yaml and gui files can be seen here: https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~fireclawthefox/thetravelingfox/snap/files

Specify the apps.app_name.desktop property with the proper value should do the trick.

oh, it wasn’t apps_appname.desktop?

Here’s the snapcraft.yaml file.

I tried waterfox.waterfox.desktop & waterfox_waterfox.desktop. Both didn’t work

Does it matter if the Snap is in devmode?
