Unable to update if the GitHub doesn't have the release. Please check the releases page on GitHub instead of the change log on the zen website before flagging the package. Thank you

The desktop file is now in sync with upstream. Its also been renamed to fixed some problems with Wayland Icon issues.

Changing the .desktop file to the following contents and renaming it from zen-browser.desktop to zen-alpha.desktop fixes the icon not working (showing wayland icon in KDE overview for example), as well as matches upstream's desktop file:

I'm running GNOME and I also don't have a desktop icon for Zen

impulse commented on 2024-08-29 09:30 (UTC)

Could you add me as a maintainer for this package please? I want to help keep it up-to-date.

Workaround for KDE users who have zen-browser appear as a wayland icon instead of Zen: Add an application rule for zen and add the "Desktop file name" property, then set it to zen-browser (it defaults to zen-alpha).

tianyu: agreed, also needed for kioexec (so clicking on links in Qt apps will open in zen)

The exec line in /usr/share/applications/zen-browser.desktop should look like

Exec=/opt/zen-browser-bin/zen-bin %U

That way we can open applications using xdg-open
