From the github README:
"If you want to have dartkable displayed along your other applications, you only need to add a symbolic link:
ln -s /opt/darktable/share/applications/darktable.desktop /usr/share/applications/darktable.desktop"
I did this. It works - sort of. The icon displayed is the system’s default icon, not the darktable icon.
Is there some other step necessary to enable gnome to find the icons?
Open darktable.desktop in a text editor and search for icon then make sure the path to the icon is correct. Perhaps use the full path.
Thanks.
Specifying the full path works (needs a reboot).
I also edited ~/darktable/build/share/darktable/darktable.desktop.in, for protection against rebuilds.
I keep having this same issue. But, when I edit the darktable.desktop file to include the icon path it doesnt work. I just dont have an icon. Im on ubuntu. what icon path did you use? I have several different icon png to choose from.
Icon=/opt/darktable/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/darktable.svg
That did it. I figured I used the wrong png path. Thanks!
