Dear debian users, I've been trying to get a custom desktop file to work nicely with Gnome's system, so that I can press Super and type "blender", and/or dock it to the menu for easy access, instead of having to navigate to that desktop file.
I followed the instructions to compile blender from source <https://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Doc/Building_Blender>, and it comes with a .desktop file that wouldn't work because it assumes blender is installed as a system default; I've edited the command to include the absolute path to the compiled blender executable, and it works. (I've attached the desktop file) However, even after moving that .desktop file into ~/.local/applications/ and rebooting, the Super dash can't find blender - not even when clicking "Show Applications > All". Anyone know how to do this? Kind regards, Tama McGlinn Game developer
blender.desktop
Description: application/desktop
