How can I create launchers on my desktop?
When I create desktop icon launchers I need to use an extensive workaround.
Using "dconf editor" is a workaround to enable launchers on desktop. IN dconf editor go to org > desktop > background then enable "show desktop icons" option.
Then create an empty file and name it, but with .desktop as an extension.
Example: gedit.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=gedit
Exec=/usr/bin/gedit
Type=Application
Icon=/usr/share/icons/gnome/256x256/apps/accessories-text-editor.png
Then save and right-click on the launcher to allow execution.
That is currently how I make launchers.
But is there a simpler way to make a launcher...
Is there a way to make a right click menu item that will create or add a launcher to the desktop?
