      Hello all! I'm quite new to Strawberry and have gotten a strange issue on Fedora 42 Workstation with Gnome 48.4, I am also using the Flatpak version as well. When I launch the application from the Gnome dashboard shortcut (I'm not sure what its called) when I play music, album art doesn't show up in the media notifications on Gnome.

      One thing I have discovered is that when I launch the application through the Gnome software stores "open" button, then album art starts to display correctly within gnome. I can also get the same result by launch the application through the terminal with the flatpak run org.strawberrymusicplayer.strawberry command.

      It seems like the album art doesn't work ONLY when I use the main dashboard shortcut. It's not a big deal but it is slightly annoying. I am also unsure if this is a Gnome, Fedora, or Strawberry issue. If anyone has any insight it would be greatly appreciated.
      Thank you!

        I have fixed the Issue, it seems it was a problem with the .desktop file located in
        /var/lib/flatpak/app/org.strawberrymusicplayer.strawberry/x86_64/stable/fe501a8f671451ccb6eeb6f26f144b25c43ee460b69b92d4d3895ceb7337adcc/export/share/applications/org.strawberrymusicplayer.strawberry.desktop
        All I had to do was replace the Exec line with Exec=flatpak run org.strawberrymusicplayer.strawberry
        No idea if changing it from the default will have any negative effects, but I now have Album Art in the media controls when launched from the Application overview in Gnome.
