You are welcome 

Strange.

/usr/lib/cider/Cider is from their build and its upper case in any OS they support. Which is fine.

The /usr/bin/cider symlink is lower case (everything in /usr/bin/ is lowercase)

So for my I just changed the desktop file as described in github issue. Nothing more to do.

The only reason you need absolute path in desktop file is that the location of the executable is not in the path.

This is the case here but /usr/bin/cider symlink should solve this. Its not wrong to put /usr/bin/cider in exec but should not be needed.

/usr/bin is in the path of every linux distro.

The exec line does not need the /usr/bin/

The reason for the bug is that the executeable is in /usr/lib/cider/Cider

and this is not in the path

/usr/bin/cider is in the path (symlink to  /usr/lib/cider/Cider) - so "cider" in exec without path is fine

Issues should be reported here:

I commented here how to fix it.

It is a bug in the desktop file of the package

Is this the correct place for feature requests ? If not - where is it ?

I would like to see an option to open the miniplayer in a new window independently from the main cider window.

It is how it works in apple music windows client and the benefit IMHO is that the miniplayer can be placed somewhere else and the main window can be minimized then.

I use shortcuts a lot and I miss one to switch to miniplayer (ctrl + shift + m) maybe.
