Desktop entry for alsa-scarlett-gui not showing up with nix package manager

So I have been playing around with nix on Debian Sid + Gnome.

I installed alsa-scarlett-gui via:
nix-env --install --attr nixpkgs.alsa-scarlett-gui

At first none of the packages from nix would show up in the Gnome application overview or when searcching for it. So I added ~/.nix-profile/share/applications to my XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variable.
And boom they showed up. Only alsa-scarlett-gui would not show up in the Gnome application overview.
Then i noticed the provided desktop enty file vu.b4.alsa-scarlett-gui.desktop contained the line:
Exec=/bin/alsa-scarlett-gui

But the others had for example:

Exec=nvim %F
TryExec=nvim

Or something like:
Exec=/niv/fj03f8f04jf.../veracrypt

So I changed beforementioned line to the following two lines like with the neovim one:

Exec=alsa-scarlett-gui %F
TryExec=alsa-scarlett-gui

And Voila it worked!

I hope you can maybe make this small change(or point me to the right direction so that I can submit that change).
I really appreciate you porting this awesome app to nix, because it is not that easy to get otherwise.

I will happily provide further information if needed.
