🔧 Desktop Integration Fixes

This release specifically addresses dock and taskbar integration issues:

✅ Fixed Issues

  • Generic gear icon in dock → Now shows proper jotDown icon
  • Cannot pin to dock/taskbar → Now pins correctly to dock/favorites
  • Missing icon in different desktop environments → Complete icon set installed

🛠️ Technical Improvements

  • Correct StartupWMClass: Now matches GTK APPLICATION_ID (com.example.jotdown)
  • Complete Icon Set: All sizes from 16x16 to 256x256 for different DEs
  • Enhanced Installation: Better post-install scripts with user feedback
  • Desktop Database Updates: Proper cache updates for immediate recognition

📦 Package Formats

  • DEB Package (Debian/Ubuntu): jotdown-v0.1.7-amd64.deb - 21M
  • RPM Package (Red Hat/Fedora/SUSE): jotdown-v0.1.7-x86_64.rpm - 26M
  • AppImage (Universal Linux): JotDown-v0.1.7-x86_64.AppImage - 20M
  • TAR.XZ Archive (Portable): jotdown-v0.1.7-linux-x64.tar.xz - 19M

🎯 Desktop Environment Support

Now properly integrates with:

  • GNOME Shell
  • KDE Plasma
  • XFCE
  • MATE
  • Cinnamon
  • And other freedesktop.org compliant DEs

⚠️ Note

If upgrading from a previous version, you may need to:

  1. Log out and log back in for full effect
  2. Clear icon cache: sudo gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor

Previous functionality (help dialog, CLI-GUI sync, etc.) remains unchanged.
