All applications appear on the desktop? about draco

Only item in ~/Desktop should show.

Confirmed, for some weird reason those got placed into ~/Desktop which should not happen but must be my fault in https://github.com/probonopd/go-appimage - they are supposed to go to ~/.local/share/applications/ only...

There is something funny going on... even if I stop appimaged, and then install applications using apt-get, their icons appear on the desktop. It is almost as if something would symlink desktop files automatically into ~/Desktop...

me@host:~$ ls -lh ~/Desktop
total 8.0K
lrwxrwxrwx 1 me   me     39 May  9 11:25 pnmixer.desktop -> /usr/share/applications/pnmixer.desktop
lrwxrwxrwx 1 me   me     41 May  9 11:23 qterminal.desktop -> /usr/share/applications/qterminal.desktop
lrwxrwxrwx 1 me   me     46 May  9 11:23 qterminal_drop.desktop -> /usr/share/applications/qterminal_drop.desktop

Look at the settings ;) default is to add "new" applications to the desktop.

I see, AutomaticDesktopAppLinks. Thanks!

Note to self: ./.config/draco/pluginsettings/desktopsettings.conf, generateDesktopIcons=true is responsible for doing this. Which is possibly a good idea in general but incompatible to the way appimaged works.

I could make this feature disabled as default, it's not something I use personally.
