Hi Everyone !
Recently I have changed from KDE to GNOME but for some reason some of my installed applications are not being showed in the main menu.
I can use all the applications in /usr/bin/applications/ normally but for some reason gnome main menu search can't find them.
Is anyone having the same issue ?
Thanks!

I'm guessing that's a typo, but gnome is looking for applications by .desktop files in /usr/share/applications
If a desktop file uses OnlyShowIn or NotShowIn key, it might not be visible on all desktop environments: https://specifications.freedesktop.org/ … 01s06.html
If that's not the cause, can you provide the desktop file of some application not visible in gnome?

Hey.
One example of application that is not appearing is Sublime Text.
The content of the .desktop file is here:
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=Sublime Text
GenericName=Text Editor
Comment=Sophisticated text editor for code, markup and prose
Exec=/opt/sublime_text/sublime_text %F
Terminal=false
MimeType=text/plain;
Icon=sublime-text
Categories=TextEditor;Development;
StartupNotify=true
Actions=Window;Document;
[Desktop Action Window]
Name=New Window
Exec=/opt/sublime_text/sublime_text -n
OnlyShowIn=Unity;
[Desktop Action Document]
Name=New File
Exec=/opt/sublime_text/sublime_text --command new_file
OnlyShowIn=Unity;
By taking a look at the I have seen that some entries are really messed up in the OnlyShowIn parameter.
Now I do believe that my question has changed, is there a way for me to fix them?
Thanks !
