Role

Suggestion

It would be nice if the "Create shortcut" option would create an application shortcut instead of just one of your desktop, especially because it would make it way easier to access (especially on window managers with no desktop).

Benefit

Ease of use and quality of life.

This suggestion is unique

  • I have searched the issue tracker and did not find an issue describing my suggestion, especially not one that has been rejected.

You may use the editor below to elaborate further.

This would be estremely easy to implement, especially on Linux: instead of placing the .desktop file to the location specified by XDG dirs, it would be placed, I suppose, to $HOME/.local/share/applications or $XDG_DATA_HOME/../applications/ (not sure about this second one).

I would love to see this implemented because I am a window manager user and hate to implement all my .desktop files for modpacks by hand. I can of course simlink the generated .desktop file by hand to .local/share/applications but that is slow.

By the way this should be solved in launcher/ui/MainWindow.cpp in MainWindow::on_actionCreateInstanceShortcut_triggered (lines 1483-1622).

Don't currently have time to look into it further tho

An easy solution would be to set desktopPath to something pointing to ~/.local/share/applications/PrismLauncher, but Some may prefer this in the desktop. Maybe it would be better to just change this to ask which one of the two would be preferred?
