Create a desktop shortcut in Linux

Detailed steps:

Method 1

1) Create an eclipse. desktop file. The command is as follows:

[Java] view plaincopy

1. Sudovim/usr/share/applications/eclipse. desktop

2) Add the following content to the new file and save it: [java] view plaincopy

1. <Spanstyle = "color: #333333"> [using topentry]
2. Encoding = UTF-8
3. Name = eclipse
4. Comment = EclipseIDE
5. Exec = </span> <spanstyle = "color: # ff0000">/eclipse </span> <spanstyle = "color: #333333">/eclipse
6. Icon = </span> <spanstyle = "color: # ff0000">/eclipse </span> <spanstyle = "color: #333333">/eclipse/icon. xpm
7. Terminal = false
8. StartupNotify = true
9. Type = Application
10. Categories = Application; Development; </span>

Some of the above commands are explained below:

Exec represents the location of the application]

Icon represents the position of the application Icon]

The value of Terminal is false, indicating that the command line window is not started at startup. The value of true indicates that the command line window is started. [false is recommended]

Categories the content here determines the position of the created starter in the Application menu. The starter created according to the above method will appear in the application-Internet, and so on, if you want to create a starter in the Application-Office, the last line above should be written as: Categories = Application; Office;

3) eclipse shortcuts are displayed in/usr/share/applications:

4) copy the icon to the desktop, right-click it, and paste it.

Appendix:

1) Why does the double-click icon fail to start? Check whether the Exec path is correct.

2) is the icon displayed abnormal? Check whether the path of the input Icon is correct.
