Cutefish not creating anything in .local/share/applications
 
I've been tinkering with Cutefish the last day and one problem eludes me. No matter what I do it simply won't pick up the .desktop files inside of /home/"$USER"/.local/share/applications. They just don't show up in the menus? Is there maybe a package or something that handles this that I may not have installed?

Never used it. Does settings get installed with the core?
Code:
pacman -Si cutefish-settings

See if $XDG_DATA_DIRS is recognized.

Code:
export XDG_DATA_DIRS=$HOME/.local/share/:/usr/local/share/:/usr/share/

^ Wouldn't that rather be XDG_DATA_HOME?

Yes for ~/.local/share. The OP should check both $XDG_DATA_HOME and $XDG_DATA_DIRS.
