Generic icon when searching for "digiKam" in the Unity Dash

Following up on bug 375108: when first launching the appimage, it offers to integrate with the system. I clicked Yes, which seems to add the appimage to the Ubuntu applications.

The problem is that when I search the Unity Dash for "digiK...", the icon that shows up is a generic "file" one (white rectangle with dog-eared corner).

It's reproducible with Krita or Kate AppImage ?

Comment 3 Dan Dascalescu 2017-01-21 18:35:58 UTC

Krita doesn't offer to integrate itself with the system when I launch its appimage, so when I search in the Dash for Krita, I only find the appimage file, not the installed app.

When I search the Dash for "digiKam", I find both, as seen in the screenshot.

Comment 4 caulier.gilles 2017-01-21 20:00:36 UTC

And with Kate AppImage ?

Note : I'm suprized that Krita do not propose Desktop integration. This feature is aprovided by AppImage SDK, abd Krita script was been the reference that i use to write digiKam one.

I already have Kate installed, and when I launched the new Kate appimage, it didn't prompt for anything. The appimage used the same Unity launcher icon as the installed Kate, so I'm not sure how useful my setup/test is.
