[pkg-go] Bug#832387: syncthing: please include .desktop files

[Leo Antunes]

Package: syncthing
Version: 0.14.0+dfsg1-1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

It would be a nice touch to be able to find syncthing in the
applications menu of desktop environments. Especially in order to set up
automatic startup on login without too many hacks.

One slightly kludgy possibility would be to include two .desktop files:
syncthing.desktop:
    [Desktop Entry]
    Name=Syncthing
    GenericName=Syncthing
    Comment=
    Exec=/usr/bin/syncthing
    Terminal=false
    Type=Application
    X-Gnome-Autostart=true

syncthing-ui.desktop:
    [Desktop Entry]
    Encoding=UTF-8
    Name=Syncthing UI
    Type=Link
    URL=http://localhost:8384
    Icon=www


But maybe it's possible to merge them into one and start both the
backend and the browser simultaneously? (since syncthing will refuse to
start if another instance is running anyway)

Thanks for considering!

Cheers,
Leo 'costela' Antunes
