Doesn't find Telegram

[vayan]

Specifications

• Hardcode-Tray version : 3.6.6
• Distribution : Ubuntu 16.10
• Application name : Telegram
• Application version : 1.0.14

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but hardcode-tray doesn't seems to find my Telegram install.

I have :
~App/Telegram with Telegram and Updater and ~/.local/share/TelegramDesktop with tdata and everything.

I tried using --only telegram --path foobar but nothing worked, always "No apps to fix!"

What do you use for the --path ? At worst add your installation path under /opt/Hardcode-Tray/telegram.json

[vayan]

I used hardcode-tray --only telegram --path /home/me/.local/share/TelegramDesktop.

but removing the last folder Telegram in https://github.com/bil-elmoussaoui/Hardcode-Tray/blob/master/database/telegram.json#L5 did the trick, not sure if this is something special with my Telegram install.

Ah maybe the binary of telegram was not found on the same location as mine :) please create a PR to fix it by adding a new line with the location of your binary file 👍
Thanks!

Same issue after installing as flatpack. Set the location right /home/USER/.var/app/org.telegram.desktop/data/TelegramDesktop/ but I got "app not found". I'm on Mint 18.2.

Can you modify the /usr/share/hardcode-tray/database/telegram.json and add that path to icons_path and try again? + Which icon theme are you using? If you can paste the output you got in terminal that would be great

[tpaniaki]

OK I tried some modifications on the .json but nothing works. Strangely the ticons folder in the flatpack version (from flathub) only have 3 icons, which looks weird.

Theme is Mint-X-Grey.

$ sudo hardcode-tray --only telegram --path /home/USER/.var/app/org.telegram.desktop/data/TelegramDesktop

Done, Thank you for using the Hardcode-Tray fixer!

[bilelmoussaoui]

Well, that theme just doesn't support hardcode-tray...please read the readme carefully next time ;) we don't ship any icon at all! we use the icons shipped by the theme used by default ;)
try using --theme Numix or Papirus to fix those icons or add the icons by yourself to your current theme

[tpaniaki]

OK sorry. I think there's still no fix for tray icons with HiDPi.

[bilelmoussaoui]

What do you mean by that? you can use a theme icon to just replace the tray icons, without even using it ;)
