** Changed in: ubuntu-ui-toolkit
Status: Fix Released => Confirmed
** Description changed:
qmlscene is a developer tool, but it is not great as an app launcher. It
would be worthwhile creating an app launcher which is better than
qmlscene:
1. integrates better with unity. For example, it does not seem possible to
run a QML app with qmlscene and specify a Launcher icon for it, without
"installing" the app by copying .desktop files into specific hardcoded
directories
2. is better documented: qmlscene has no man page; the --help text does not
mention the --desktop_file_hint option at all

("The qmlscene utility is meant to be used for testing your QML
applications, and not as a launcher in a production environment. To
launch a QML application in a production environment, develop a custom
C++ application or bundle the QML file in a module.")
