So... The problem for generic apps should be fixed. You can see some examples here: - https://github.com/3v1n0/indicators-examples-snaps
Basically we export to unity the proper absolute icon path, unless that's readable (so basically it can be everywhere inside the SNAP but in /tmp). They're using remote parts indicator-<toolkit>, although I hope to include this in the desktop launchers by default. As for some QT apps that don't use appmenu-qt, until we don't fix the Qt upstream implementation, the only workaround is to use a different TEMPDIR for them, see https://github.com/sergiusens/telegram-snap/issues/2#issuecomment-261139307. When bug #1620442 is fixed, it might be ok to set TEMPDIR to XDG_RUNTIME_DIR for a such snap. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to sni-qt in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1600136 Title: App indicator does not show icon for Qt apps or with custom icons Status in Snappy: New Status in snapd package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in sni-qt package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: Snaps that use the app indicator area via Qt can't display their icon there. Steps to reproduce and screenshot: https://github.com/nuttyartist/notes/pull/77 Some research: - Uses http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qsystemtrayicon.html - The indicator icon is created under /tmp under a randomly generated directory name didrocks mentions also: 1. The application says "this is my menu, and here is my icon at that address", the address being /tmp/blablabla 2. appindicator receives the bus messages 3. and says "let's have a look at this icon at that address" 4. BUT! /tmp in the snap is different form system /tmp To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/snappy/+bug/1600136/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
