Putting this idea more general: can I used such a *.desktop file to
launch a shell script in /home/phablet, for example one with the lines:

#!/bin/sh 

cd /media/phablet/*/Maps
nohup python3 -m http.server  &

Thanks

  How can I view this locally on the BQ? I tried something like:

  ubuntu-app-launch webbrowser-app
  file:///home/phablet/diario2016/index.html

  but with no luck.

Thanks for that useful tip!

I can confirm that browsing local HTML files won’t work in the browser.
This is an unfortunate side-effect of confining the browser with
apparmor to prevent disclosing sensitive information (previously the
browser ran unconfined and one could view the contents of all files on
the filesystem).

I’d like to find a middle-ground solution to that problem, so that
users could browse and view "legitimate" files in their home folder,
without compromising security. I’ve filed
https://launchpad.net/bugs/1563214 to track the issue. Suggestions and
ideas welcome.

Cheers,

 Olivier

I did this in the past on other Linux mobiles (the Openmoko Freerunner)
and was already searching with find, where other *.desktop files are
located;

thanks for your clarification and it works now; I only have to look for
a nice 256x256 icon.png file;

I will add a chapter to my booklet about this in:
https://www.gitbook.com/book/gurucubano/bq-aquaris-e-4-5-ubuntu-phone/details

Thanks for you help!

small typo: must be ~/.local/share/applications/  :-)

Oh, sorry, I was a bit too brief - I thought you had been down the route of 
handwritten .desktop's before.

You put this in a new file here:
~/.local/share/application/
e.g.,

~/.local/share/application/MyWebContainer.desktop

For your purpose, I guess you will want to change the Exec= line into something 
like
Exec=webapp-container --enable-addressbar --enable-back-forward 
--webappUrlPatterns=/home/phablet/diario2016/* 
/home/phablet/diario2016/index.html


I can't fully remember where I did take the information about these parameters 
from, try a websearch. Or try leaving them out, the names are quite descriptive 
anyway.


In the .desktop file might want to adjust the Name= and Icon= lines to your 
liking.

Once you have saved that file you need to pull-down-to-refresh in the appscope 
and then a new launcher should show up.


Also, note that I'm not claiming that you /can't/ get this to work with 
webbrowser-app, but simply, I had this webapp-container snippet lying around 
and I /know/ that this one works for me.

Good luck, and let us know how it goes, or if somethings unclear.
