desktop shortcut not showing - Jingpad A1 #54

JingOs v1.0 on Jingpad A1

I tried to install PWA and web shortcut through chromium (preinstalled version) on JingOs, they do not show on desktop by default.

Chromium adds *.desktop files in /home/<usr>/.local/share/applications which seems to not be scanned for showing applications shortcut on the desktop/home screen of JingOs. A workaround is to move/copy these files to /usr/share/applications/ folder which is (the one ?) scanned for shorcut.

This behavior will prevent a bunch of applications to show when installing their shortcut here, and to be installed and showing only for certain users of a shared computer.
