Gnome-contacts app not showing up in app drawer despite having proper .desktop files setup. Any help with this?

Hey guys, I’m using the latest version of Manajro stable.


As you can see from the screenshots, the application is installed, and the proper .desktop files are created.

The .desktop file contains the following “stuff”

I’ve tried reinstalling but it does not seem to help. Is there any resolution to this problem?

Thanks.

Hello,

As we can also see an email account you are using. Was your intention to put it out for public?

Make sure you move Contacts app shortcut from the Office app folder (is there by default) to you desired Contact app folder.
