Thank you for reporting. I'll take a look at the issue as soon as I'm back home (this weekend).

[nwg-piotr]

Could you build from the chrome branch and check if it works for you?

facing the same issue here, not able to open prospect-mail which a chrome app of outlook. Using archlinux

[nwg-piotr]

Please run nwg-drawer from the terminal, click the icon of the program that does not start, and provide the output from the terminal. Also please paste the content of the prospect-mail's .desktop file, if you can.

[nwg-piotr]

Alright, I installed ProspectMail form AUR. The Exec line includes a space in path:

Exec="/opt/Prospect Mail/prospect-mail" %U

In go we can not just execute a whole command as is. It must be parsed to:

1. array containing environment variables,
2. the command itself,
3. array with arguments.

This line is being parsed to /opt/Prospect (command) and Mail/prospect-mail (argument). I see no easy way for the program to guess all the possible packagers' intentions. However, there's a symlink /usr/local/bin/prospect-mail that we can use.

Steps:

1. Copy /usr/share/applications/prospect-mail.desktop to ~/.local/share/applications/
2. edit the Exec= line for it to look like this:

Exec="/usr/local/bin/prospect-mail" %U

3. save the file.
