It would make the main app screen SO much tidier

I'll do it for the next update.

I don't use QProcess for this. I just call Qt.openUrlExternally(<path/to/desktop/file>) from QML. This is the same as using QDesktopServices:

penUrl(QUrl(<path/to/desktop/file>)). I would only use QProcess if I needed more control.

Thanks

But per example for Maps applications you get "/usr/bin/invoker --type=e /usr/bin/maps -u %U" in exec parameter. Do you use all the string in Qt.openUrlExternally? Like this Qt.openUrlExternally("/usr/bin/invoker --type=e /usr/bin/maps -u %U") ?

I'm asking because i can't try it right now

It is the .desktop file itself that I pass to Qt.openUrlExternally(), not the value of the Exec key, so for Maps it would be

Code:

Qt.openUrlExternally("/usr/share/applications/maps.desktop")

This ensures that the application is launched in exactly the same way as if the user clicked the desktop icon.

If you start a thread in the Development section explaining what you are trying to do, I should be able to help.

Do you copy the shortucts put in folder somewhere ? would be easier to find all shortcuts alreay on created folders

Thanks

In general if you need to find what .desktop file corresponds to an icon and it's not immediately obvious from the .desktop file name, try the following from within /usr/share/applications or /home/user/.local/share/applications:

Code:
