"Brave Browser development Apps" category on Linux #15016

Open ghost opened 3 years ago

ghost commented 3 years ago

Description

When I made Spotify as a standalone app from Brave, on my Manjaro install (unofficial Arch package), it came in the menu as the category 'Brave Browser Development Apps', Brave is not in development/beta on Linux anymore. I tried editing the .desktop file, however the category seems hard-coded in.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Brave, on Linux, preferable Manjaro, version 1.20.103 / Chromium 88.0.4324.152
  2. Go to open.spotify.com and then 'Install app' on the address bar.
  3. Check the menu on a desktop where the menu supports categories (KDE/XFCE/Cinnamon), there will be a category called 'Brave Browser Development Apps'.

Actual result:

[~/.local/share/applications/brave-pjibgclleladliembfgfagdaldikeohf-Default.desktop] image

Expected result:

The folder is called "Brave Browser Apps" or "Brave Apps", similar to the "Chrome Apps" category

Reproduces how often:

Reproduces with every website having an installable web app.

Same thing happened to me after inadvertently installing Presearch as a standalone app. Unable to locate the configuration file that XFCE is reading to add it to the applications menu.

Environment is Gentoo linux

Update: removed unwanted xfce apps menu category by deleting this file

~/.local/share/applications/brave-ibplobhgoibifgodakhlfcaonppiidme-Default.desktop file

The people at Brave don't care about PWAs unfortunately.
