Missing Apps

[bugsysop]

Fresh application install (1.1.4) on fresh elementary install (5.1): most part of installed applications are missing from menu.

This concern Debian packages (Mozilla, Thunderbird), Flatpack packages installed with App Center (Onlyoffice, VLC, Curtail, Calibre, Eddy...), and also some native elementary apps (Music, Web, Screenshot).

From the very few third party apps that are present: Atom (Flatpack), Disk (Gnome Disk frop apt-get), GParted (from apt-get)

The solution found here #118 not working for me !

The flatpak packages are blocked access to the the filesystem, including the folders containing .desktop files, which are the entries for the icons that appear in the app menu. You can try:

flatpak override com.github.donadigo.appeditor --filesystem=<folder with .desktop files>

I know /usr/share/applications, /usr/local/share/applications, and ~/.local/share/applications contain some of them, but that didn't work for me. Try building it from source if it doesn't work.

I have this issue with the latest version of Elementary OS 7 based on Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS. Changing file system permissions for the app seems to do nothing.

This bug remains to this day with version 1.1.1 of AppEditor and elementary OS 7.1. Even giving access permission to the application, Flatpak applications are missing.
