Caution: FreeCAD from Ubuntu Software is offered as a snap application (I searched from Ubuntu 19.04). Desktop files should be in:
Code:
/var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications
Exec= command for snap will be complex.
I can't even find FreeCAD through Activities.
The above location should be included in the search on Activities Overview. (Note: All my installed snaps with .desktop files there are found in that search). Did you restart after installing?
To be clear, is the problem just that a program icon shows in the dock when you run the program, but does not pin as a favorite?
If the icon is not correct, find an icon using Google Image search. In at least one snap I installed, there was no provided icon.
