.desktop file for jar distribution
While working on !214 (merged)
@ialokim started a discussion: (+9 comments)
one thing worth mentioning is that the Briar logo is not shown in this test system since no
.desktop
file is installed when directly running the jar (as opposed to an installation via deb (and flatpack?)). We could overcome this by setting an image on the notification itself, but I would have to look into it again. Also, it might be nice to have the option of creating the.desktop
file anyhow, to be able to find it in the start menu for example. Not sure how this is usually handled with Java programs distributed as jar files...
We should probably check on (first or all?) launch if a .desktop
file is present on the system and otherwise offer the user to create one.
