but as you can see it's still not intuitive or convenient and requires some sort of work around. I'm not sure how hard it was in 2009, but I'm glad it's better.
I have to start typing the app I want from memory, unless I "work-around" that by adding all the ones I want from the list of applications or look at the list in another open window, then I can see them and I start creating the real shortcuts with the create launcher function.Īfter that I still get the same error, but this time a 3rd option is on the promt: "Mark Executable". It's not very handy to add these shortcuts with the "create launcher" function because then I'm not choosing from a list. So it seems that I can't use a built in function smoothly? With a promt to "Launch Anyway" or "Cancel" If you do not trust this program, click Cancel. "The desktop file "sktop" is in an insecure location and not marked as executable.
Now I have a shortcut with a lock on it, and everytime I click it there's a warning saying: Once I looked up where to find those, I right clicked on one that I wanted and I see the "send to desktop(create shortcut)" option. I would like to look at and go through all the apps I have so that I can decide which ones I'd like on the desktop. It's easy enough to create them now that I know, but theres still a couple of problems. But it does make sense as to why it's called that.
Create a desktop shortcut for minimserver trial#
I found out through much trial and error and by finally giving up and looking it up on the internet, that you have to "Create a Launcher", which sounds much different than adding a desktop shortcut. One of those things is creating a desktop icon. I think the XFCE desktop envionment is one of the best set-ups of them all, but there are very simple tasks that are not intuitive at all or downright hard to accomplish. I must admit I'm a new convert to Linux and have a lot to learn. I was advised to start a new thread to an old question posted back in 2009, because a lot has changed since then and creating a desktop icon is supposed to be easy now.
