Hi, Just like other desktops, you do this with a standard desktop file: http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ Put the desktop file in /usr/share/applications or ~/.local/share/applications. > Similarly where is documented how to start programs that do need a > filename on each invocation. If the filename is going to be the same each time you launch the program, you can use the Exec key in the desktop file: http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ar01s06.html Otherwise, you'll need to launch it manually from the command line (or with the Alt+F2 Run dialog). _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
