Ubuntu 16.04: no shortcut and icons

[aardappel]

Thanks for the icon!

There was already a treesheets.desktop file, but its icon entry didn't point to a file, or maybe the file as a whole doesn't get used, not sure.

I added your icon: 786e00f

Thank you @aardappel !

@Deevad do you know how to get in touch with the Debian/Ubuntu packager? I have the same issue, but I thought that @aardappel is the packager, but it seems not to be the case.

@dumblob : Hi, I guess it's the address I can read in the *.deb package 's changelog. I'm pasting it under as a screenshot to protect the email of the packager:

[dumblob]

Thanks @Deevad, I'll send an email to them. By the way nice icon 👍.

[Deevad]

Thank you! and thanks for contacting them.

[aardappel]

Thanks! Yes, I am not involved in any packaging. If someone could check the icon shows up by default, that be great.

Hey, I think I fixed this in May 2016 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=818965 which is why it's not in Ubuntu 2016.04. It will probably be in the next version.

[dumblob]

@infinity0 thank you for fast response and explanation. Is there any supported (including auto-updates, etc.) way how to get the version earlier on Ubuntu? PPA seems an overkill for that.

[Deevad]

@infinity0 : Thank you for this maintenance!

@dumblob : Maybe compiling? On the AUR PKGBUILD building receipe of Treesheets is written a couple of good hint about where to copy/install the built files. But maybe still too complex and time consuming to adapt it to a simple 16.04 bash build script. I'm fine with the version on the package with manual fix for icon/*.desktop so far :-)

[dumblob]

@Deevad well, I wanted to avoid https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm this time, but it seems Debian/Ubuntu packaging system still has those old, well-known sharp edges 😢.
