Description of problem: Activities search for "nemo" doesn't list nemo file manager even if installed. I can literally type "nemo" and enter in a terminal and it launches, yet the activities search pretends to be completely unaware about it. That's a bit baffling and makes using it to launch stuff quite impractical if it doesn't know about it to start with. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): GNOME Shell 43.2 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. sudo dnf install nemo 2. Press super key in GNOME 3 session, type "nemo" Actual results: seemingly unrelated junk as search results Expected results: nemo file manager is top result since it's installed, has that name, and is ready for use Additional info:
The problem is in the file: /usr/share/applications/nemo.desktop There is a line (currently 121 in version 5.8.4): OnlyShowIn=X-Cinnamon;Budgie The above line prevents gnome-shell from listing Nemo. It's really an unnecessary limitation and isn't present in any other distro I've run.
