When I right-click the icon of gitkraken in the taskbar and select "Add to favorires" nothing happens; it stays where it is and doesn't move. (The article Okular - Can't add to GNOME taskbar may be related but this seems different.)
I'm running Ubuntu 21.10 and gitkraken was installed via sudo apt install gitkraken-amd64.deb.
Finding the executable:
~$ which gitkraken
/usr/bin/gitkraken
~$ ls -al /usr/bin/gitkraken
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 47 Mar 4 08:42 /usr/bin/gitkraken -> /usr/share/gitkraken/resources/bin/gitkraken.sh
The script gitkraken.sh figures out where it is living and results in executing /usr/share/gitkraken/gitkraken shown below:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 140259960 Mar 4 08:42 gitkraken
Under /usr/share/applications the name is the same:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 289 Mar 4 08:42 gitkraken.desktop
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 314 Mar 4 08:42 gitkraken-url-handler.desktop
UPDATE: I found that the article Cannot add custom launcher to Ubuntu Dock ('Add to Favorites' option does not show up) worked to add the icon to favorites.
However, when it runs, it shows the activation icon back in the task bar; i.e., rather than showing the "activation dot" on the icon in the favorites, it adds an icon in the task bar with the "activation dot". So, not ideal.
I tried changing the symlink to point at the executable directly rather than the script but that didn't improve anything; same behavior.
So, I'd still like to understand why the "Add to favorites" doesn't work from the menu. Is it of invoking the gitkraken.sh which then invokes gitkraken executable?
