Linux Trick: Create desktop entries for apps

System: Fedora 39 workstation

It’s always a problem for me that some apps I downloaded can not be recognized by control and extension search light . So it’s necessary to create separate entries for those unrecognized apps.

The procedures are as follows:

1. Cursor to directory ~/.local/share/applicaions
2. Create <app name>.desktop
3. Edit the content
4. run command desktop-file-validate <app name>.desktop

The content is shown below:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Encoding=UTF-8
Type=Application
Name=typora
NoDisplay=true
Exec=typora
