Hello,

Is it possible to create rapid link to ModusToolbox somewhere on Linux desktop, e.g. in Favorites.

I've tried an approach that I've found on the web that consists in editing .desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications/, but it didn't work.

Thanks.

Here is approach that works:

  1. Create .desktop file in this location: ~/.local/share/applications/
  2. Fill .desktop with the following content:

[Desktop Entry]

Comment=ModusToolbox

Terminal=False

Name=ModusToolbox

Exec=/home/user_name/ModusToolbox/ide_2.0/eclipse/ModusToolbox

Type=Application

Icon=/home/user_name/ModusToolbox/ide_2.0/eclipse/icon.xpm

StartupWMClass=Eclipse

Note:user_name replace by appropriate item
