Request: Include sqlitestudio.svg in the Portable distribution
After installing SQLiteStudio using the portable version (which is the only version type, until the installer returns, in v3.4.x, per a comment seen in Issue #4087), an Ubuntu user then needs to create a .desktop launcher / icon / shortcut. Useful (but not required) for that is the sqlitestudio.svg file.
But the Portable version does not include that file. Prior releases used to find that file in the app_icon directory, but according to comment under Issue #3265, this occurs thanks to the installer, which the latest release, (v3.3.x at the time of this writing) does not have. And I am unsure if that is for Windows only anyway?
So my request is to have this file included, somewhere, in the Portable release. Even if the installer returns in v3.4.x, I think the .svg image would be useful in the Portable version even.
Incidentally, including the .svg in the Portable release would let me eliminate a few steps from this SQLiteStudio v3.3.x Installation guide.
Why not just wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pawelsalawa/sqlitestudio/master/SQLiteStudio3/guiSQLiteStudio/img/sqlitestudio.svg?
Getting that manually is one additional manual step that a user would need to perform to simply get a launcher to appear properly and work properly.
Compressed that image adds just 100K to the size of the portable release. With that image file included in the portable release, a person can simply unzip the portable release from the SQLiteStudio website, then download the corresponding .desktop file from wherever (or copy and paste from a StackExchange post, for example), and boom -- they are in business.
Haven't used SqliteStudio in a while.
Just putting finishing touches to move to linux with some system config scripts/automation and I've been looking all morning for this icon.
When you launch the app in KDE (5.18 / I forget how I did that originally) you can then pin it to the taskbar and you get an icon but there is no icon file anywhere to use in a .desktop file - KDE automagically grabs the icon data from the app and adds it to a config file (base64?)... anyway, finding the image is the problem. So cheers @sgornick for linking it here :+1:
Being able to script an install is important as eventually you may have to upgrade / reproduce your pc and having to manually do that is never pleasant. You need the svg for this so making it easily findable would be a good thing.
Excellent project / application though - very much in the same vein as Sqlite itself : simple to use, straightforward, no nonsense , does-what-it-says-on-the-tin. Very refreshing in today's world so @pawelsalawa, I'd just like to add a big thankyou :+1: for all your efforts ! (I know.... cash'd be better :disappointed: )
