Yeah, the .desktop file for AppLock runs it with the "-ui" command. That command has not yet been implemented so the menu icon doesn't actually do anything yet. As soon as the GUI is done that will work though.

As for not adding when you only enter the file name, I will recode that part of it shortly to improve the file recognition. May even add the ability to select an app based on its name from the CLI. That being said, right now I am focusing on writing a GUI for the app that is usable, that should at least make it easier to control it all without having to use the CLI.
