For the moment the only solution we had to make a shortcut is: 1 - open nautilus (File browser) 2 - Go to: /usr/share/applications/
This folder containt all shortcuts of the menu. Copy what you would, and paste where you would. My attachment is a screen of a shortcut I have put on the desktop with this method. But, it's true that is a big fail for Ubuntu.... ** Attachment added: "Capture du 2014-06-07 13:05:20.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1241972/+attachment/4126989/+files/Capture%20du%202014-06-07%2013%3A05%3A20.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1241972 Title: Drag and drop from Dash to Desktop doesn't work Status in One Hundred Papercuts: Confirmed Status in Unity: Triaged Status in Unity 7.1 series: Triaged Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When you try to drag and drop an app from Dash (both from app lens and home lens) to Desktop, system display an error and the shortcut isn't created.
