Hi all,
I’m trying to add an app to my KDE start menu, but right clicking the app does not show any helpful option for this context. Is there a simple way to get it into the launcher?
Would also like to know how to pin it to the taskbar.
Any help would be appreciated!
Is there not an option to add to favourites?
You used to be able to drag an application from the menu, now it only works if you run the application, right click on the icon and choose pin to taskbar.
Are they in your file manager?
If so, you’ll have to create a .desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications. You can use one from /usr/share/applications as a template. Alternatively, you could right-click on the menu icon and select edit menu and use the gui to create a desktop file.
sorry I’m having a hard time understanding the GUI, the alternative solution you suggested isn’t quite clear.
Choose your folder, richt click on it and select Add New.
Name is the name as it appears in the menu
Generic Name describes what the program is
Comment and Environment variables can be left blank usually
Program is the name of the program that you want to run. You can navigate to it using the little icon to the right.
Command line arguments, you might not need. If you do they’ll be specific to the program.
Launch feedback enables the bouncy cursor.
You choos the icon for the entry by clicking on the little box next to the names.
When done click Save.
That’s the current path when the program runs. It will default to the program directory, but can be changed if needed.
Thanks a lot for the help.!
