Davinci Resolve does not show up in Applications of the DE

1

Hi, I installed Davinci Resolve today and after installation it didn’t show up on my “Applications”, later on after reading Davinci Resolve’s .nix file I found out that icon section is commented out which might be preventing it from showing.
Snippet of the .nix file:

desktopItems = [
  (makeDesktopItem {
    name = "davinci-resolve";
    desktopName = "Davinci Resolve";
    genericName = "Video Editor";
    exec = "resolve";
    # icon = "DV_Resolve";
    comment = "Professional video editing, color, effects and audio post-processing";
    categories = [
      "AudioVideo"
      "AudioVideoEditing"
      "Video"
      "Graphics"
    ];
  })
];

Can we have the icon because it seems to be required by Pantheon DE in order to show Davinci Resolve in “Applications”

Note: I don’t have any major runtime issues or anything though (Eg. Crashes, GPU undetected, etc.). Its just that I always have to launch it from the terminal. :grin:

I assume you’re using 24.05. This was fixed in unstable, but was never backported. I’ve triggered a backport, and will reply here when it’s landed in 24.05.
