Display Package Icons Installed by Nix in Launcher
Published
•1 min read
Of course the icon is displayed only if the package ships a .desktop file.
I have tested this on KDE Plasma. It should work on other desktop environments too. It is not implementation specific.
Run the following manually or put it in your ~/.bashrc
export XDG_DATA_DIRS=~/.local/share/:~/.nix-profile/share:/usr/share
ln -s ~/.nix-profile/share/applications/*.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/
Now log out and log back in. Or if you are on KDE Plasma, you can run kbuildsycoca4 to rebuild the application launcher.
