But in my ~/.local/share/applications/ the appimagekit-joplin.desktop is missing.
How do I fix this? Currently, to run joplin I need to open ~/.joplin/Joplin.AppImage. I would like to have an icon available to be able to add it in ubuntu favs bar.
PS: I will be okay with uninstalling completely again (if someone could tell the exact steps) and installing because I think I messed up my first uninstall.
I just tested now, and this creates a desktop file for me (on Ubuntu as well).
If that doesn't work, please copy and paste the output from running the above command.
Have the same problem and this is solution i use now:
1)Check icon size you use in ubuntu
I use set icon size in ubuntu to 48
2) go to ~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps
3) Look for image that is named like: appimagekit_87cd9a30751919d8bc26ad75640143ca_@joplinapp-desktop.png (or similar)
4) Rename the last part @joplinapp-desktop to joplin
like so: appimagekit_87cd9a30751919d8bc26ad75640143ca_joplin.png
5) Last thing run command in terminal gtk-update-icon-cache ~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/ -t
it will tell gtk-update-icon-cache: The generated cache was invalid.
but after that Joplin icon appears on dock.
I do that for every new install of Joplin.
P.S. That long part appimagekit_87cd9a30751919d8bc26ad75640143ca might note be in your installation but the @joplinapp-desktop part is important.
