Hi there, I'd like to use a shared nextcloud folder to deploy clickable shortcuts to certain programs with some pre-defined arguments (e.g. urls to some web-sites, programs which need some extra arguments such as a session specifier or the like).
Using .desktop files seems to be the perfect solution for this, but I'd also like to have individual icons for those desktop files, for example different icons for different web sites. So the idea is to create a .icons directory inside the shared folder from nextcloud and use ./.icons/<someicon> as relative path with the .desktop file as reference directory. https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/428992/why-do-freedesktop-desktop-files-not-allow-relative-paths explains some reasons why this is not possible, but I don't see another way of getting what I want. Absolute paths are not possible (the nextcloud shared folder is located in the user's home directory), and the target audience for my setup is not expected to be allowed or able to install anything on their computers. So for this problem, the only solution is to place the icons inside the shared folder. I think I'm not the only one or the first to have such kind of problem, is there a fool-prove solution for this? Thanks Alex
