Created attachment 106345 [details] no digikam icon in gnome applications When using appimage (and itegration in the system), digikam icon is not present in Gnome applications: see 1st attached screenshot (in gnome applications, searching for "digikam") see 2d attached screenshot (no icon neither in the favourite panel of gnome; after adding Digikam in the favourite applications)
Created attachment 106346 [details] no digikam icon in gnome favourite panel note: the icon is correct for Digikam installed in Fedora repository (RPM version) the icon is NOT correct for Digikam installed with appimage
The AppImage Linux Bundle have been recompiled with last changes from source code and is available here for testing : https://files.kde.org/digikam/ Take a care : 6.0.0 is a beta release for the moment. Make a database backup before to test. Problem still here ? Gilles Caulier
Unfortunately I can't check because the appimage does not provide desktop integration in the system (as it was the case in the first appimage you provided). Unless I miss something ... Is there a way to add an appimage 'manually' in the system ? (so that a search in gnome shell would allow to launch digikam directly ?) Now, to launch digikam, I have no other option that opening the file manager to the appimage directory and double-clicking on it...
yes there is: Linux universal AppImage bundles : ---------------------------------- * digiKam-version-timestamp-x86-64.appimage => for Linux 64 bits. * digiKam-version-timestamp-i386.appimage => for Linux 32 bits. This bundle is compatible with all Linux distributions which support Fuse file system. It's built under CentOS 6.x. It must be runnable on all distributions older than 3/4 years. Make file executable and run it as well. Nothing is installed and not root right is necessary. See here for details : http://askubuntu.com/questions/774490/what-is-an-appimage-how-do-i-install-it Bundle executable can take arguments to run: without option : run digiKam. <showfoto> : run Showfoto instead digiKam. <debug> : run digiKam into GDB. <debug> <showfoto> : run Showfoto into GDB. <desktopintegration> : run native AppImage scripts to process desktop integration. <help> : show these information. The desktopintegration option is for you. This call the original scripts provided by AppImage SDK. I re-routed these scripts because it crash on some Linux. So by default there is no integration done. Passing this option do the job. If it crash, it's fully a bug in AppImage SDK, not digiKam. Gilles Caulier
Yes indeed, sorry didn't see that option for desktopintegration. So I have just tested: the result is still the same (not OK): like the printscreens I made in comment #1 and comment #2

Fixed with AppImage digikam-6.0.0-20190203T151814-x86-64.appimage available here : https://files.kde.org/digikam/ See bug #378253 for details... Gilles Caulier
Hi Gilles, unfortunately I cannot test because desktopintegration does not work anymore with digikam-6.0.0-20190203T151814 appimage (in fact it does not work since beta3 ; it was still working with beta2) I get in message error in terminal: Call native AppImage CLI tools for desktop integration... /tmp/.mount_digikaWz9O26/AppRun: line 133: digikam.wrapper: command not found
How I thinking to fix this problem already. I take a look... Gilles Caulier
Ok, i found the problem. The bundle AppImage script run this bash function from AppImage SDK : https://cgit.kde.org/digikam.git/tree/project/bundles/appimage/04-build-appimage.sh#n415 And the code corresponding to the AppImage SDK is this one : # Add desktop integration # Usage: get_desktopintegration name_of_desktop_file_and_exectuable get_desktopintegration() { # REALBIN=$(grep -o "^Exec=.*" *.desktop | sed -e 's|Exec=||g' | cut -d " " -f 1 | head -n 1) # cat_file_from_url https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/deprecated/AppImageAssistant/desktopintegration > ./usr/bin/$REALBIN.wrapper # chmod a+x ./usr/bin/$REALBIN.wrapper echo "The desktopintegration script is deprecated. Please advise users to use https://github.com/AppImage/appimaged instead." # sed -i -e "s|^Exec=$REALBIN|Exec=$REALBIN.wrapper|g" $1.desktop } Wonderfull. This feature is broken... Gilles Caulier
Ok, now i understand. Look here : https://github.com/AppImage/appimaged In fact the desktop integration is now delegate to a deamon, running on your host system. It's not done anymore from the AppImage bundle as well, as i can see. Gilles Caulier
This is done for security issues. It use a sand-boxing mechanism. So i will remove the desktop integration option from digiKam AppImage. Gilles Caulier
