Hi, yes, Cairo-Dock used to have issues with apps that have dots in their desktop file names until recently.
Basic support for this was added in version 3.5.1, the latest stable release, available in our PPA: https://launchpad.net/~cairo-dock-team/+archive/ubuntu/ppa Additional improvements to identifying apps were made since then and available as part of the latest beta / release candidate (version 3.5.99.rc1): https://launchpad.net/~cairo-dock-team/+archive/ubuntu/weekly However, it is possible that your app would still be incorrectly identified, so it would be great if you could re-test with the latest version. Thank you! ** Changed in: cairo-dock-core Status: New => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Cairo- Dock Devs, which is subscribed to Cairo-Dock Core. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1966148 Title: Desktop entries with more than one period fail to "Make It a Launcher" Status in Cairo-Dock Core: Triaged Bug description: I was having issues adding Flatpak programs as launchers. Every time I tried to add a program as a launcher, it would disappear as soon as I closed the program, or logout/reboot. They wouldn't save. An example is the program "Exodus" crypto wallet from gnome-software with the Flatpak plugin / Flathub repo. The desktop entry created in ~/.local/share/applications/ is called "io.exodus.Exodus.desktop". Thought maybe it was the capital "E", but renaming to all lowercase didn't fix it. Finally renaming it to just "exodus.desktop" made it work fine as a system menu item and a dock launcher. Any time I use a filename with more than one period, Cairo Dock will not add it as a launcher. I found this page referencing the very same bug from 2018 on the Flatpak support page with no resolution mentioned: https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/2474 It's not just Flatpak. It's every desktop file I've tried with more than one period, and Flatpak just happens to expose it.
