[Nix-dev] Desktop environments (KDE, XFCE) and ~/.nix-profile/share/applications

[Michel Alexandre Salim]

Hi all,

I notice that when installing apps on a per-user basis using nix-env,
the desktop shortcuts (symlinked to ~/.nix-profile/share/applications)
do not get indexed by kbuildsycoca4 and thus do not end up in the menu
(I've not tested this with XFCE yet).

Should this directory be indexed by default, similar to how
~/.local/share/applications is indexed? It'd make the desktop experience
feel more integrated.

Thanks,
