Cannot generate recipe from provided .desktop file about appimage-builder HOT 6 CLOSED

It's provably something related to the .desktop file format. Could you please quick check if your desktop files is valid using desktop-file-validate?

from appimage-builder.

I tried it but desktop-file-validate rakarrack.desktop gave no output.

@milanlinux I'm currently working on improving this section. Could you please share your desktop file (the whole file), for me to used while testing.

In the meantime you can use one of the existent recipes as template and manually add the required packages.

Alright, I created a repo where I uploaded .desktop file (since that was the easiest way for me to share it and because I will eventually release it here), so here it is: (https://github.com/milanlinux/rakarrack-appimage)

from appimage-builder.

Hello @milanlinux, I downloaded your .desktop file, copied it into an AppDir/usr/share/applications and also copied ls in AppDir/usr/bin/rakarrack and the appimage-builder --generate command ran well.

Maybe we could do a shared terminal session in order to diagnose your issue, if that is ok to you please find me at irc://irc.freenode.net/appimage as azubieta

This should be fixed in the latest release (v0.8.2).
Please feel free to reopen the issue if required.
