![]() ![]() That's the 3rd place I locate icons, as doing so -and cut&paste- saves a couple seconds when creating Desktop files. Puppies, I think including FatDog, provide a unique location "on the Path" for applications unique to Puppies: /root/my-applications/bin. "On the Path" means any "bin" or "sbin" folder, e.g. Others, perhaps depending on the Puppy, will require a executable bash script located "on the Path" providing that information. (3) Some applications can be "called" by merely specifying where the executable is located as part of the Exec argument in the Desktop file. But, for consistency I locate them in either /usr/share/icons or /usr/share/pixmaps and one other place I'll mention below. I usually employ icons in "png" format as every Puppy can use them. Any icon will do, one already on your system or one you download or create. (2) An icon which will appear next to the applications listing on the Menu, or as perhaps the only "reminder" of what clicking it will start if you add the application to a panel/taskbar. There are one to three files needed to create a Menu entry: (1) a desktop file at /usr/share/applications is always needed. ![]() ![]() Just bookmark the folder in rox so that it's easy to reach the executable.Ģ. So, on my system, the folders for portables are located in /mnt/home/Pup-Apps. As I run several Puppies, I locate portables in a folder on /mnt/home where they can be used by more than one. But that take up space in a SaveFile or SaveFolder. Decide where you want to locate it and place it (or decompress the package and move the files into its own folder) there. But the following can be applied to any "portable" application.ġ. I don't run FatDog or use Double Commander. ![]()
