“This NHF assumes you are using KDE and have a need to make
shortcuts on your desktop (ala Windoze). It covers basic icon
linking with programs that need console commands to run
them.”
“Programs like Mozilla and TopPage require you to cd to the
directory and type ./mozilla and ./toppage -e respectively to run
them. I use KDE and I like a desktop shortcut to all of my
most-used programs. This is how I do it.”
“Instead of changing directories to the directory and typing the
command, you can create a script to do the job for you. Next you
make the script executable, create an application link in your
/home/user/Desktop directory and use the path to the script. There
is a bash scripting cheat sheet NHF, but we won’t need anything
that indepth for this procedure.”
