It appears that this bug is due to at least in large part to a regression on the Unity side that appeared very late in the cycle. I've opened a separate bug 999427 for that. The issue is that the file path conversion for the desktop file from the app-install path to the actual installed location is no longer being done. Please refer to the description for bug 999427 that includes a snippet of Python code that we used to use in Software Center to do this previously (before the full integration was complete on the Unity side).
Since apps for purchase do not have desktop files in app-install-data desktop , the key is to simply use the package name itself to look up a desktop file in the installed directory (/usr/share/applications) once the installation has completed. Please refer to the code snippet in the description for bug 999427 for this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/925014 Title: Purchased items are not being added to the Unity launcher To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/925014/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
