If I add usr/bin/xdg-desktop-menu and usr/bin/xdg-icon-resource to the snap, the errors go away, and indeed a desktop file is created in $HOME/snap/chromium/current/.local/share/applications/.
These desktop files are not marked executables, so double-clicking on them in nautilus won't work. After marking them executable, interestingly some of them work, and some don't (they just open an empty browser window with all its chrome). An example of a shortcut that works is https://html5test.com. One that doesn't is https://example.org. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to chromium-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1732482 Title: [snap] doesn't properly save desktop files for "create shortcuts" action Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: For chrome apps, the create shortcuts action should create desktop files but it doesn't.
