I'm trying to create a launcher. Following the explanation in https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/index. html
I created the following file in ~/.local/share/applications eiffel-estudio.desktop [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Type=Application Exec=/opt/Eiffel_15.12/studio/spec/linux-x86-64/bin/estudio Icon=/opt/Eiffel_15.12/studio/bitmaps/png/estudio.png Name=Eiffel Builder Categories=Programming However, this is ignored. It appears from the xdg reference that the directory (and its subdirectories too?) should be read automatically, but my entry still does not appear in the menu. So what is missing, please?
