App Launcher #374

Open Robby9705 opened 2 years ago

Robby9705 commented 2 years ago

Request: A launcher should be created in the application launcher of the desktop environment.

I've seen the previously closed issue about you not knowing how to code this feature in; So, you could probably look into Videomass' (https://github.com/jeanslack/Videomass.git) code as they have implemented an app launcher in their application. I would've helped you but I don't know how to code T_T

Do you remember, by any chance, which issue number that was?

Yeah It Was #120

I examine the setup.py for Videomass, and it's exactly the same as Tartube. So I can't explain why Videomass has a desktop launcher and Tartube doesn't.

@axcore still a massive pain in the butt

Do you need me to describe the procedure for manual installation of a desktop shortcut on Ubuntu (POP OS) ? Or it won't help at all?

axcore commented 1 year ago

Manual installation is not the problem, the problem is that I don't know how to configure the setup.py or the .deb / .rpm installers to add the application launcher that everyone wants.

Presumably there are millions of people who could add that capability in minutes, but unfortunately none of those people are reading my issues page ;)

I googled a bit for you, dunno if it can help or not. I only looked for python as it's how I installed it (and I thought only this installation method was affected)

Tartube shortcut appears correctly in Internet folder in KDE app launcher.
