Icon on Linux #548

Open morvael opened 1 year ago

morvael commented 1 year ago

Running Linux Mint 21.2 MATE. Desktop icon of my JWS app created correctly. Menu icon of the app had wrong icon (some system placeholder), but when I entered menu editor and edited properties of the item it was pointing to and showing correct icon. Restart didn't update the icon, but editing icon properties and selecting the same icon file did correct the icon. I think there's some kind of menu refresh missing.

BTW, is it possible to place the menu item in category other than "Internet"?

Later it went completely bonkers. I tried deleting everything, purging and reinstalling OWS. After manually deleting launchers and reinstalling OWS it was asking every time to create icons, but didn't create them. sudo javaws ... executed correctly for root profile including creating icons. I ended up copying root launchers and setting icons for them manually. I have no idea how this feature is supposed to work.
