I have just installed the final 17.04 Release. Having problems with the Unity Launcher (not Dash, don't use that), compared to what has always worked in 16.04 & 14.04.
[To create a shortcut on Launcher I always run the program first from the shell, then when it's running I right-click its icon in Launcher and Lock to Launcher: if that is not the right way to do things let me know.]
Installed PyCharm (2017.1.1) via tar image from JetBrains. When running I Lock to Launcher its icon as usual. But when I exit PyCharm the icon is removed from Launcher (no other app behaves like this)?
EDIT in response to @Videonauth's comment:
From Unity Dash "pycharm" does not find any matching application.
It is "installed" by untaring into /usr/share and I did a ln -s ../share/pycharm/pycharm-community-2017.1.1/bin/pycharm.sh /usr/bin/pycharm, as I did in 16.04.
However, I see in my 16.04 that Dash does find "pycharm", and shows its icon (then again, it's already locked to Launcher, if that makes a difference). OTOH, under 16.04 I initially did some kind of "Ubuntu install" of PyCharm. I had problems (can't recall what, may well have been to do with unable to then get updates), and was advised to remove that and do by manual untar method; but it might have left something around to be found from dash, I don't know.
So: What is the relevance of whether it is found in Dash/what do I have to do? And the fact that you ask that and talk about locking it from there, are you saying that my method of running an app from terminal and locking it while running is not a good idea?
OK, I have just found How can I set up PyCharm to launch from the Launcher?. I must look at that....
