Dear all, while trying to create a desktop link to a folder I get the following message after entering : lxshortcut -o /home/namex/folderx ,in a terminal ** (lxshortcut:1550): WARNING **: file properties dialog: cannot access desktop entry file Can anybody help with that please ? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

But there is some info here that may help you: http://www.pcurtis.com/lubuntu.htm#desktop_launcher Hopefully, the "default" way of creating a shortcut to a folder will help you too. It's the Exec properties of a .desktop entry file (shortcut) that does the work. The file manager, (PCmanFM is the default in Lubuntu) is told to navigate to a folder by following a specified path. First here is an example of a folder in the file system (of one of my children's computers) called US-State-Capitals: Exec=pcmanfm -n /usr/share/extra-games/Edu-Flash/History-Geography/US-State-Capitals Second is an example of a folder nearer to what you asked for. This opens a folder called C4C-Logo-New two deep in my own home folder: Exec=pcmanfm -n /home/eric/C4C/C4C-Logo-New More info: http://lxlinux.com/#11 Eric --- God Bless You, Computers4Christians http://Computers4Christians.org/ -- Lubuntu-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users
