<div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">You cannot just copy your activity into the ~/Activities directory. You have to install it as a .xo bundle or using 'setup.py install' (note that the latter is tricky as the command might get your paths messed up). This installation step will create a file --> ~/.local/share/mime/packages/<your-bundle_id>.xml</font></div>
