Just quite bit of input. I landed here because of the same issue on Chrome -- not Chromium. Well, my searching first landed me correctly on a bug filed under "Chrome Browser", and that bug was shut down because it was determined a duplicate of this one. And early in this thread it was put to the snap team -- yet what I am seeing is on Chrome and Chrome wasn't uninstalled via snap package. So no, this was not a duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1863897 And this may not have anything to do with snap, and hence why they are not really taking it and doing much. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1732482 Title: [snap] doesn't properly save desktop files for "create shortcuts" action To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1732482/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1732482] Re: [snap] doesn't properly save desktop files for "create shortcuts" action
@Sebastian Bacher - genuine question: does not a single person in the chromium-snap team use this feature? Because I can't think of any other reason why this regression (when compared to regular chromium) is treated like a 'wishlist' item. Please, enlighten me. Currently, on any Ubuntu recent Ubuntu version you're forced to use privacy-invading Chrome if you want to use WebApps. Firefox removed the feature (curiously enough, it does work on mobile), chromium-snap crippled it, chromium non-snap is pretty hard to install for most users and leaves you with a(nother) third-party repo on your system.

I opened a bug 1863897 that is now closed as a duplicate of this one which concerned the A2HS (add to home screen) functionality of PWAs (progressive web apps). If you use the A2HS functionality it should create a desktop icon and open the PWA in a Chromium standalone window that looks similar to a desktop application. However as per this bug, it does not work. To reproduce, there is an MDN page https://developer.mozilla.org/en- US/docs/Web/Progressive_web_apps/Add_to_home_screen that links to a PWA that has a A2HS prompt: https://mdn.github.io/pwa-examples/a2hs/ In the snap version of Chromium the resulting desktop icon is missing and the link does not work.

It looks like the problem has evolved since it was originally reported.

I did get a ".desktop" file to work by manually copying it from ~/Desktop to ~/.local/share/applications, on Ubuntu 18.04.
