How can I add a launcher for a shell file to Gnome favorites?

  • 772

A program I regularly use is based on Java and started with a shell file. I would like to add a launcher for this program/shell file to the favorites menu of my Gnome desktop on Ubuntu 15.10.

How can I do that?

  1. Here's another example. Not as comprehensive as Charles's link though - http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2013/09/install-light-table-ide-create-launcher-ubuntu/

    sudo apt-get install gnome-panel --no-install-recommends
    sudo gnome-desktop-item-edit /usr/share/applications/ --create-new


    NOTE: Example below uses /opt/Appname as the app directory
    Name: Appname
    command: /opt/Appname/Appname
    choose icon example /opt/Appname/core/img/lticon.png
