Hi,
is there a possibility to add a program to the start menu for all users?

Thanks,

Andreas

Hi !
Yes a quote from the Arch wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Desktop_entries

Desktop entries

The freedesktop Desktop Entry specification provides a standard for applications to integrate into a desktop environment. Desktop entries are the configuration files that describe how an application is launched and which data it can handle. They also configure how an application appears in a menu with an icon, which is subject to the related menu specification standard.


Another quote: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/De ... tion_entry

Application entry

Desktop entries for applications, or .desktop files, are generally a combination of meta information resources and a shortcut of an application. These files usually reside in /usr/share/applications or /usr/local/share/applications for applications installed system-wide, or ~/.local/share/applications for user-specific applications. User entries take precedence over system entries.

Hi,


thanks, I´ ll do it that way. I have already worked with .desktop - files, though not for applications (I´ve created a "desktop" running a single application).

On the long run, it´s even easier for me to configure that via files rather than interactively.

Regards, Andreas
