[Mate] create launcher to .exe

jedrzejkr92

Hello,
I have installed latest Solus Mate and I would like to create link to .exe file. It seems to be easy because I simply make operation "Create launcher" and chose exe file which is located in my home location - I use wine of course.

But the problem is that when I launch this this shortcut system prompts me that it is missing other files from this location as if it was trying to find them on desktop. My question is, how do I create link/launcher on destkop to .exe file?

The same way you crate any other launcher. The "Create Launcher" is just a tool that helps you to create a text file with the necesary data to launch the program desktop files and it's not specific to Solus.

First make sure that you can lauch the program without problems from the terminal, sometimes a program requiere arguments or environment vairables to be set and complains. You can use winecfg to config your app. When it works you just enter wine /full/path/to/your/application.exe in the "Create Launcher" and make sure the file it creates is executable.
