When I uncompress portable apps in /opt
I want to launch them from the start menu, but I find that I can not.
They don't show in start menu.
I assume that the installer app is making a list somewhere,
and if the installer app isn't used then the start menu isn't updated.
Here's an example of a desktop file that won't update the start menu.
Code: Select all
