TryExec Spaces Show up as \\s

Open elibroftw opened this issue 4 years ago • 0 comments

Describe the bug If I try running the Unofficial Plex Media Player AppImage, which has spaces, I always get the "would you like to install/integrate" this app. After I click yes, I see the .desktop file in the ~/local/share/applications/ folder but the path for TryExec uses \s instead of a space. This causes the application to not show up in the menu. Furthermore, even if the .desktop app exists, I have to manually tell the "Install Linux Application" question to stop asking me to integrate the app image.

Sorry if this is the wrong place, but it's a very annoying issue.

Expected behavior Using " " instead of "\s" for the TryExec path.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to https://knapsu.eu/plex/
  2. Click on the first download link
  3. Double click and install the appimage
  4. Wait 10 seconds and try searching for Plex Media Player, it will not show up
