I have just installed Android Studio in a folder in my home directory. I added this to my PATH in .bashrc, and sure enough Android Studio launches correctly when I type 'studio' at a bash prompt.But Android Studio doesn't show up under the "All Applications" in the whisker menu. How do I create a new launcher, or persuade xfce4 to create a new one?
You need to create a .desktop file for the app, with that .desktop file located in your ~/.local/share/applications folder.
For example, for the audacity appimage file I have in my .local directory, I have the following Audacity.desktop file in my ~/.local/share/applications folder.
[Desktop Entry] Version=1.1 Type=Application Name=Audacity Comment=Audacity sound editor Icon=audacity TryExec=/home/victor/.local/audacity.AppImage Exec=/home/victor/.local/audacity.AppImage Actions= Categories=Audio;
With this .desktop file, Audacity shows up in Whisker under the audio category of applications (sometimes, you may need to go into Whisker and edit/save the entry for it to appear in the proper category of applications).
Good luck. -Victor -- -- Victor Forberger [email protected] blog: http://linuxatty.wordpress.com
