Ubuntu gnome desktop file name

[bios-ben]

Expected behaviour

Add to favorites button works in ubuntu 18.

Actual behaviour

Add to favorites missing.

Steps to reproduce

Open app and right click in dock to see missing menu, try renaming solution and now it shows.

Version 18.09.01

After reading stack exchange I found that desktop links cannot be added to favorites unless their file name matches the window name. Checking into this it seems the file is named PBE.QOwnNotes.desktop and when renamed to QOwnNotes.desktop the problem is fixed, as per the above link. However, I did find #933 that caused this rename to happen in the first place. Is it possible to get the default desktop link named properly to work in ubuntu?

You have researched the problem pretty well. Unfortunately I have no secret information on how to make it work in both conditions, please let me know if you find anything out!

I also ran into this, and can confirm this temporary workaround:

sudo mv /usr/share/applications/PBE.QOwnNotes.desktop /usr/share/applications/QOwnNotes.desktop

That was the previous name, see #933.
I will try adding StartupWMClass=QOwnNotes to the desktop file in the next release. Can you please try using the PBE.QOwnNotes.desktop and adding above line to it and report if that works.

Yup, this also seems to works! Thanks for that
