Hey, I just installed the copr package on fresh install of Fedora Workstation 42. It has one problem, the package doesn’t create a ghostty.desktop file for desktop environment to launch it via GUI. It can be accessed via the command line but I had to manually create a desktop file.

After some digging, I noticed a mistake with the distributed .desktop file. The exec path is some build binary path instead of /usr/bin/ghostty

I created this file in ~/.local/share/applications/ghostty.desktop and it works properly now.

This is the same issue that was reported in scottames/copr#58 and should now be resolved.

That is awesome, thanks for the good work :smiley:
