Create .desktop demo
www.youtube.com
In the future, you will right-click to access this app

Now, to make this appear when right-clicking. Any idea how I can achieve that?

    Hmm, why the bold?

    to distinguish the quote from my reply

    Maybe try https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47235022/add-a-custom-option-in-nautilus-right-click-menu ?

    Will do, i’ll reply if it’ll work or not.

    What did you put in the .desktop file?

    I put the following:-

    [Desktop Entry]
Name=IntelliJ Idea
Comment=IDE
Exec=/home/user/Programs/IntelliJ\ Idea/bin/idea.sh
Icon=/home/user/Programs/IntelliJ Idea/bin/idea.svg
Type=Application
Categories=Development;

    basically

    [Desktop Entry]
Name=
Comment=
Exec=
Icon=
Type=Application 
Categories=Development;

    For ‘Exec’ and ‘Icon’, type the absolute path for both em like the example. As for categories, here they are below:

    • Audio
    • Video
    • Development
    • Education
    • Game
    • Graphics
    • Network
    • Office
    • Science
    • Settings
    • System
    • Utility
    • Other

      I already have a normal desktop file like yours. I don’t see how replacing it with yours would provide any benefit as the execution arguments are all the same. I guess you won’t be able to help me then.
