Desktop app FAQ

App updates

How do I ensure that the Ente desktop app stays up to date on my system?

Ente desktop includes an auto-update feature, ensuring that whenever updates are deployed, the app will automatically download and install them. You don't need to manually update the software.

Upload errors

How do I identify which files experienced upload issues within the desktop app?

Check the sections within the upload progress bar for "Failed Uploads," "Ignored Uploads," and "Unsuccessful Uploads."

Icon update

I updated my Linux app, but it is still showing the old icon

You might need to update the icon cache of your Linux desktop environment.

The easiest way to fix this would be to restart your computer (or logout and login again into your desktop environment). It should also be possible to do this without restarting, but the steps for refreshing the icon cache would then be specific to your distro (e.g. xdg-desktop-menu forceupdate).

NOTE

If you're using an AppImage and not seeing the icon, you'll need to enable AppImage desktop integration.
