Since 12.04, when additional software is installed, Ubuntu software center puts an icon in the launcher, representing a .desktop file in /usr/share/app-install/desktop/
. This desktop file is not "overruled" by a (possible) local .desktop file in ~.local/share/applications
.
My question is:
Why is the initial icon (.desktop file) put there, and is not the default .desktop file used that is located in /usr/share/applications
?
/usr/share/app-install/desktop/
seems to be left behind us, which is good news for me; it made things more complicated for a quicklist editor. – Jacob Vlijm Sep 06 '14 at 17:55
