* ## Summary
I've implemented the fix for issue #4575. Here's what was changed:
### Changes Made
**File: `v3/internal/commands/build_assets/linux/Taskfile.yml`**
1. Added `generate:dotdesktop` as a dependency to `build:native` task (line 45)
2. Added `generate:dotdesktop` as a dependency to `build:docker` task (line 63)
This ensures that the `.desktop` file is generated during every Linux build (both native and Docker-based), not just during packaging operations.
### How it works
- When running `wails build` or `wails dev` on Linux, the build process now automatically generates a `.desktop` file at `build/linux/<app-name>.desktop`
- The `.desktop` file contains:
- Application name
- Executable path
- Icon reference
- Categories (defaulting to "Development")
- This allows Linux desktop environments to properly display the application icon and metadata even during development
### Testing
To test the changes:
1. Create a new Wails v3 project: `wails3 init -n testapp`
2. Build it: `cd testapp && wails3 build`
3. Verify the `.desktop` file exists: `cat build/linux/testapp.desktop`
Would you like me to run a test or make any additional changes?
