Linux Desktop FIle Request

[Bladeforce]

Hi, Sode!

Can I request you change the fs-uae and fs-launcher desktop files so they have the "Game;" in them for example:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=FS-UAE
Comment=FS-UAE Amiga Emulator
TryExec=fs-uae
Exec=fs-uae %f
StartupNotify=true
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Icon=fs-uae
Categories=System;Emulator;Game;
NoDisplay=true

Every time theres an update my fs-uae and fs-launcher icons get thrown into the "Other folder"

Many thanks

Make a copy of this file in $HOME/.local/share/applications

This one will always override the one in /usr/share/applications

Well thanks gaz. I never knew $HOME/.local/share/applications overrode /usr/share/applications

Thanks Pal!

Your welcome, it's really handy because as you found out the package manager overwrites the entry in /usr/share/applications as you found out, but a package manager will never touch the contents of the home folders.

I usually use it to hide menu entries I don't want using this little script I wrote, you need to be in /usr/share/applications to use it.

cat ~/.bin/menuhide 
#!/bin/bash

#Hide menu items defined by $1                                                  
cp $PWD//$1 ~/.local/share/applications                                         
echo "NoDisplay=true" >> ~/.local/share/applications/$1
