What do you see instead? + +The .desktop file contains `~/bin/git-annex webapp` as command which is of course a invalid command as ~ is not expanded when running the desktop file. + +What version of git-annex are you using?

I just ran into problems because I did not expect the cabal build process to create my desktop file but instead thought that git-annex will create it by it-self taking its own path. Perhaps it would make sense to produce an error if the bindir is invalid. An automatic expansion of '~' in the build script would be even better. + |
