Currently this package ships a .desktop file with the same icon as the one on the 'ubuntu-sdk-ide' package, yet it executes a different binary.
This can be extremely confusing to app developers, which a) won't know which icon to choose when launching the IDE and b) won't know either that a different installation of the IDE will be launched depending on the icon.
In addition to that, a third package, 'qtcreator' ships a different icon that launches the qtcreator binary.
$ dpkg -S /usr/share/applications/ubuntu-sdk-ide.desktop
ubuntu-sdk-ide: /usr/share/applications/ubuntu-sdk-ide.desktop
# Calls 'Exec=qtcreator %F'
$ dpkg -S /usr/share/applications/ubuntusdk.desktop
qtcreator-plugin-ubuntu: /usr/share/applications/ubuntusdk.desktop
# Calls 'Exec=/usr/bin/ubuntu-sdk-ide %F'
$ dpkg -S /usr/share/applications/qtcreator.desktop
qtcreator: /usr/share/applications/qtcreator.desktop
# Calls 'Exec=qtcreator %F'
I'd suggest simply dropping the ubuntusdk.desktop icon from the qtcreator-plugin-ubuntu package. |
