Yay! It works. Thank you.
Just a note for anyone else new to linux, be sure to add an ".sh" extension onto the "Left" file. Then just follow the guide in the link posted by jtimon, under the section for "Application directory".
Hi, Im also running elementory. I tried the steps provided and added the .sh extension to the file but it doesn't show up in the applications directory. I placed the .desktop file in the suggested location. Here is the content of my .desktop file
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Left
GenericName=Left
Comment=Left
Exec=/opt/Left/Left.sh
Icon=/opt/Left/resources/app/icon.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Office;IDE; Any help you could provide would be great.
Try putting the .desktop file under Home / .local / share / applications
The ".local" is a hidden file in your home directory, so press control + H
My .desktop looks like this ( I have saved the Left Application files into my Downloads Folder):
