MJ PDF icon missing

Using /e/OS Troubleshooting
1

Hi community
On my FP5 with e/OS 2.6.3-t-20241217 I and Bliss starter I use to open PDF files with the MJ PDF (preinstalled app) I cannot find the icon on the screen, but would like to have it right on top there. The app works fine and is listed (with the icon) on the apps in “system”. The problem seems not to be related to system updates. I noticed it already some months ago. Is there any way to get the icon on the screen?
(Niagara launcher shows it without any problem).
Thanks for your help …

The icon might have changed, so you have to delete the storage of Bliss, in that way all icons will be recreated on the home screens

Thanks, mihi. Nice idea, so, I immediatly went to delete Bliss Launcher cache and storage > of course now with all icons renewed in alphabetical order, exept MJ PDF. It is still missing. Any other idea?
For the moment I downloaded MJ PDF from the app lounge. Same name, but total different icon. Seems also to be a different app? I’m a bit confused…

I am also confused, if a icon was missing that did usually the trick…

I seem to remember that MJPDF is built into /e/OS to be “hidden” but open all .pdf by default.

This method is not quite ideal; depends how you use it.

Find and Select a .pdf file with Files app > top right 3 dot menu > Add launcher shortcut > Select the PDF shortcut > Add to home screen.

While this only loads the pre-selected file, within MJPDF you can use top right 3 dot menu to Open Another PDF,

thanks aibd. In my opinion, best solution would be to give us the icon.
For some reason, it is an important point to me - and for other ones too, I guess.
Happy new year to everyone - e guets nöis.

Is that only when using Bliss? Because with LawnChair I can see it.

I guessed that you would say that :slight_smile:

MJPDF is built into default, with Bliss /e/OS to be “hidden”

It only stuck in my mind as it seemed an “unusual flag” when I first saw it.

Happy new year.

Happy New Year to you too

No sweat. I say “thanks” for every helpful thoughts.
And yes, it’s only Bliss Launcher - I used Niagara and Nova, both showing the MJ PDF icon … since Bliss Launcher improved a lot, I got back to it … but maybe …
