Bug ID: 451534
Summary: Ability to add desktop launchers
Product: Falkon
Version: unspecified
Platform: unspecified
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
Not to be confused with Bug #451442 (this is similar, but it's not the same)
Create shorcut, Add to desktop, Make a desktop launcher.
Ability to create desktop launchers and place it under Favorites or unsorted
menu.
This is generally useful for frequently visited websites and especially for
webapps.
Example case:
1) User visits https://www.linuxtoday.com/
2) User want to have a accessible way to reach that website on next time,
without needing to open web browser beforehand.
3) Right click on tab -> Create Shortcut
4.1) Falkon creates a desktop file under ~/.local/share/applications/
4.1.1) Filename for desktop file "com.linuxtoday.www.desktop"
4.2) Falkon downloads icon to ~/.local/share/icons/
4.2.1) Filename for icon file "org.falkon.com.linuxtoday.png"
5) I encourage the use of "org.falkon" in order to indicate the origine of a
file.
