I'm trying to create a launcher to replace this terminal command:

QT_SCALE_FACTOR=2 /home/cozza/V-PlaySDK/Tools/QtCreator/bin/qtcreator

I created the a .desktop

nano ~/.local/share/applications/VPlay.desktop

Added this

[Desktop Entry]
Comment="Launching VPLay"
Terminal=false
Name=VPlayScale
Exec=QT_SCALE_FACTOR=2 /home/cozza/V-PlaySDK/Tools/QtCreator/bin/qtcreator
Type=Application
Icon=/home/cozza/Qt/vplay-icon.png

Saved.

Then:

chmod +x '/home/cozza/.local/share/applications/VPlay.desktop'

When trying to launch I get error: 

"There was an error launching the application."

It works without the QT_SCALE_FACTOR=2 at the start so it's clearly not supposed to go there but I don't know where else to place it.

How do I create a launcher with this preceding argument?

Thanks.

The correct command in VPlay.desktop

Exec=env QT_SCALE_FACTOR=2 /home/cozza/V-PlaySDK/Tools/QtCreator/bin/qtcreator
