Ipfs-desktop: The app doesn't close nor it remains in the system tray

Created on 3 May 2020  路  3Comments  路  Source: ipfs-shipyard/ipfs-desktop

  • OS: Ubuntu 16.04
  • Version: 1b58b62

Describe the bug
With the previous version it was possible to reduce the app to the system tray and from there : quit, start, stop, restart the daemon. The latest version of the app doesn't have any icon in the system tray. When I close the app, the app disappears but remains in the background. I have to kill it manually.

Expected behavior
Provide a real way to exit the app or consider restoring the system tray like before.

Thanks @rafaelramalho19, It looks like the problem. I'm not an electron developer but I was unable to create a app with tray icon (using the latest electron). You might be right since i'm using the old unity desktop environment.

Will close this issue since it seems to be unrelated with ipfs-desktop.
If there's anything related with this again please open a new issue 馃檱
