Any news on this? I am using chromium 66.0.3359.139 (283 stable snap) under
Fedora.
The create shortcuts action created a .desktop file under ~/Desktop, which is
not useful when using the Gnome shell.
The Exec part in the .desktop file points to
/snap/chromium/283/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chro
There's a discussion on the snapcraft forum at
https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/how-to-expose-desktop-files-created-by-
snaps-to-the-de/2853, but no recent input on it.

If I add usr/bin/xdg-desktop-menu and usr/bin/xdg-icon-resource to the

These desktop files are not marked executables, so double-clicking on them in
nautilus won't work. After

Title:
[snap] doesn't properly save desktop files for "create shortc
Desktop files in $HOME/snap/chromium/current/.local/share/applications/ are not
very useful on a classic desktop, as gnome-shell (or others DEs) won't find
them there.
We could probably modify the xdg-desktop-menu script to write to a different
location. But $HOME/.local/share/applications/ won'
Appending $HOME/snap/chromium/current/.local/share to $XDG_DATA_DIRS
allows gnome shell (and likely other DEs) to see the desktop files and
to launch them using the chromium snap. Need to discuss how this can be
approached with the snapd team.

Such a shame users are being pushed towards regular Chrome, since that's
the only feasible 'solution' to this bug for most users. Personally,
I've completely given up on Chromium for Ubuntu 20.04+.

I opened a bug 1863897 that is now closed as a duplicate of this one

There's another problem I'm not sure if is related: even if the icon is
well handled, the opened window will not show as an individual one on

Another problem that was mentioned in duplicate bug #1848126 is that the
icons are created in

(along with a manifest file), but they are not correctly linked in

Is this the issue because of which chromium apps' shortcuts launch
chromium and show its icon as indicator instead of the pinned app's
icon?
If so, this issue still is not fixed in Ubuntu 19.10.

Actually, the shortcuts were leftovers from the correctly working

recreate them using the standard procedure anymore.
So yeah, this is the bug.

I want to highlight that @jonny-boy's comment could be considered a
separate-but-related bug. The exec path being written out in these files
is not optimal. Here's one that was just used for me:
/snap/chromium/821/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chrome
Surely it would be better to refer to the "cur
I did get a ".desktop" file to work by manually copying it from
~/Desktop to ~/.local/share/applications, on Ubuntu 18.04.
I experimented with making the Exec= paths that didn't include a hard-
coded version. I tried "/snap/bin/chromium", "chrome", "chromium" and
"/snap/chromium/821/usr/lib/chromi
It looks like the problem has evolved since it was originally reported.
Desktop files are now correctly created on $HOME/Desktop/, but there are (at
least) two problems with their contents:
- the Exec stanza runs /snap/chromium/861/usr/lib/chromium-
browser/chrome directly, i.e. unconfined
-
For Ubuntu users at least :
in the Exec line of the .desktop just replace the beginning
/snap/chromium//usr/lib/chromium-browser/chrome
by
chromium-browser
Maybe also look at Web App Manager offered by Mint team.
…and now Firefox will be packaged as a snap, what a sad joke.

Just quite bit of input. I landed here because of the same issue on

a bug filed under "Chrome Browser", and that bug was shut down because

@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.

The workaround is only part of the solution, the link still opens as a
tab in regular chromium window rendering it useless. PWA's are still
broken for now since they are supposed to launch as a separate
'application' they way it works in the non-snap version of chromium.

If the snap chromium is connected to removable-media, the shortcut is
correctly placed in ~/Desktop.
But this shortcut does not work, opens chromium on a blank page.

To manage notifications about this bug go to:
Right now ~/snap/chromium/current is a symlink to a specific version of
Chromium. So placing icons and desktop files there will break each time
Chromium is upgraded unless the files are copied from the previous
version-specific directory to the new one.
