No application launcher for scrcpy

Question

I installed scrcpy snap in my ubuntu 20.04. but I can't find such application in my applications menu. I have to open the terminal for running it. Is it possible to create a launcher for running it? Please help

Answer 1

Create a .desktop file (you could use nano instead of vim.tiny or whatever you like):

sudo vim.tiny /usr/share/applications/scrcpy.desktop

Add the following contents.

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=scrcpy
GenericName=scrcpy
Comment=Screen mirroring application
Exec=scrcpy %F
Icon=phone-symbolic
Terminal=false
X-MultipleArgs=false
Categories=Development;GTK;
StartupNotify=true

It should be available just after creation.
