new desktop entries not recogonized #108

I am using the latest tofi by aur. Today I installed lvim and supertuxkart, they have their desktop entries in/usr/share/applications, however tofi-drun can't find them, I tried reboot and reinstall tofi, all failed. btw I installed flatpak today, and from update-desktop-databse, I can see /home/ykpcx/.local/share/flatpak/exports/share/applications, /var/lib/flatpak/exports/share/applications are added to database. I am not sure if this is related.

Have you tried running update-desktop-database as root?

Thanks for sorting this @jthvai. Also worth mentioning that this might also just be caused by tofi's caching not being perfect (it's a hard problem to solve). If anyone else comes across this, you can force a re-gen of the tofi's desktop file cache by deleting $XDG_CACHE_HOME/tofi-drun, or $XDG_CACHE_HOME/tofi-compgen for the normal program cache.
