[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hello! Sometimes, when Icecat or Pcmanfm-qt update, I am not able to run them from shortcuts I've add to panel as Items (right mouse click - Panel - Add new Item).
This is because applications addresses were changed after update (because guix adds hash to application folder).
This makes me need to delete shortcut and add again.
Xfce is not in account in this. Xfce does not use /home/user/.giux-profile/bin folder for those shortcuts. Xfce uses /gnu/store/hashhashahsh-icecat-60.1/bin/icecat instead. And this is my trouble.

Do you think we can solve this?

What do you mean by “Xfce does not use /home/user/.giux-profile/bin
folder for those shortcuts”?  If you create a shortcut manually then you
could specify your Guix profile's directory, don't you?

I cannot reproduce the issue (I didn't update packages because of
virtual machine though).  Could you attach a screenshot with a window
where you specify Icecat or Pcmanfm-qt binary location, please?

Regards,
Oleg.

No solution yet, but i confirm this issue does exists..

After add a launcher for chroium in xfce4-panel, i got:

$ cat panel/launcher-9/16929589731.desktop

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

So it hardcode store paths in 'Exec'.
