Troubleshooting • Re: Desktop Icon option [ Remove Link Arrow ]

Ok have managed that.

Create file for example 'Files'

Edit the file as follows

Code:

[Desktop Entry]Type=ApplicationName=FilesExec=xdg-open /home/######Icon=/home/######/icons/documents.png

Create a Desktop file, with no ending. [Files]

Line 1. Indicates it's a [Desktop Entry]
Line 2. Type=Application (not Link)
Line 3. Name of file
Line 4. Exec=xdg-open /path/to/folder (not URL as in Type=Link)
Line 5. Icon=/where/you/put/named.gif~png

The xdg-open is the clue to use Exec which allows the use of Type=Application not Type=Link, hence no required [arrow]

I now use these sort of files for my [Mounted Media] and [File Manger]with new icons.
