Add a desktop starter in Ubuntu 12.04

In ubuntu 12.04, you cannot use the right-click desktop menu to create an application starter. Here, refer to an online method to create an application:

 

In ubuntu 12.04, each application initiator corresponds to a configuration file (the file suffix is. desktop) in/user/share/applications ). You can add a similar file in the directory to create an initiator.

For example, add an eclipse shortcut,

Go to the/user/share/applications directory and create a new desktop file.

CD/user/share/Applications

Vim eclipse. Desktop

 

A simple configuration example is as follows:

[Desktop entry]

Version = 1.0

Name = eclipse

Exec =/home/*/eclipse (corresponding to the specific path of the eclipse binfile)

Terminal = false

Icon =/home/*/icon. XPM (corresponding to the specific path of the eclipse application icon file)

Type = Application

Categories = Development
