[Debichem-devel] Bug#850546: openbabel-gui: Please add a desktop file for obgui

[Hans Joachim Desserud]

Package: openbabel-gui
Version: 2.3.2+dfsg-2.4+b1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

openbabel-gui contains obgui which is a graphical application,
but it doesn't have a desktop file. Please consider adding
one, so that it can be found in for instance an application
menu in a desktop environment.

https://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/openbabel-gui/filelist

See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openbabel/+bug/1649243
for a corresponding bug report in Ubuntu.

I noticed there's a new version in the queue for experimental.
I haven't checked if this issue might be resolved there, but didn't
see anything in the changelog specifically refer to desktop files.
