Title: App launcher that isn't qmlscene Status in Ubuntu UI Toolkit: Incomplete Status in “ubuntu-ui-toolkit” source package in Raring: Won't Fix Bug description: qmlscene is a developer tool, but it is not great as an app launcher. It would be worthwhile creating an app launcher which is better than qmlscene: 1. integrates better with unity. For example, it does not seem possible to run a QML app with qmlscene and specify a Launcher icon for it, without "installing" the app by copying .desktop files into specific hardcoded directories 2. is better documented: qmlscene has no man page; the --help text does not mention the --desktop_file_hint option at all See also http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtquick/qtquick- qmlscene.html ("The qmlscene utility is meant to be used for testing your QML applications, and not as a launcher in a production environment. To launch a QML application in a production environment, develop a custom C++ application or bundle the QML file in a module.")
