AppImage .desktop file broken #1666

What happened?

Hello.

I'm on CachyOS and up till now I was using the AUR package for StabilityMatrix. This worked without issues so far but in wake of the AUR hacks I wanted to switch as many packages away from the AUR as possible, including this one.

Now when trying to use the AppImage directly, the created .desktop file doesn't work. It's missing entries like "ICON" and since "NoDisplay" is set to true it doesn't show up in the app launcher at all. Fixing the .desktop file doesn't help since it gets reverted back to the broken one after closing SM.

Only workaround I found so far is by creating a copy of the .desktop file next to it.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Start the AppImage
  2. .desktop file gets created in /.local/share/applications
  3. .desktop file is missing entries
  4. edit the .desktop file
  5. close Stability Matrix
  6. .desktop file gets reverted back to the bad one
