Re: launcher


First, I'm assuming the file is executable. If not, run for example
chmod +x ~/Desktop/yourfolder/file-to-execute

When I double click the file in the folder a window appears from which I
chose run and the application ran.

< snip >

Third, in the "Command" field, type the full path to the now executable
file, which would be

( or /home/your-username/Desktop/yourfolder/file-to-execute )

I did this but, when I clicked the icon on the desktop nothing happened.

Note the capital "D" in "Desktop".

Not sure why you would put the file in a directory on your desktop though -
much neater to put it in ~/bin or something like that - or if you want all
users to be able to execute it, put it in /usr/local/bin .

Because I am very ignorant about the workings of Linux so tend to take
the easy way out.
