only problem is that I can't get it to execute the link on the desktop. "Look for something here to execute by this name, if not found then return" If I'm wrong, I'm okay with that. If it didn't find songkong in usr/bin, no harm no foul it doesn't make sense to me that a wrong TryExec= path would wreak havok and attempt to create or destroy anything. I figured I would try editing that path line to something applicable to the application I was trying to run. The TryExec line is just left over from when it didn't work after attempting with the "VLC.desktop " format copy/paste you can see above. Is there something specific I have to do in order to get this to work with certain paid applications? My world isn't ending although it may seem like it, I just prefer making this more intuitive rather than less. I've also tried turning the file.txt into a sktop + chmod +x and chmod a+x (as guidance I found suggested) performed on both. I've also used the chmod +x /path/to/my/file.txt. I've tried using paths with and without the quote. Icon=/home/aj/songkong/webhelp/SongKong64.jpgĬategories=AudioVideo Player Organization Music I just can't see how any of it is different than what I'm trying to do with this SongKong application. Icon=/home/aj/Keepers/Unreal Engine 5/UE5 EarlyAccess/Engine/Content/Splash/Splash.bmp Įxec=python '/home/aj/Keepers/Unreal Engine 5/UE5 EarlyAccess/Engine/Binaries/Linux/UnrealEditor' I've actually accomplished this desktop linking task once before with just a basic link to my UE5 Editor working with icon image and everything. I also tried copying the general format from VLC player. Is there a way to have the command: ln -s /path/to/file /path/to/new/location also print out a log of what went wrong if unsuccessful? So far I've been unsuccessful trying everything I managed to find on Google - which was a lot. Thank you for the link and snippets of code to try. The program is called SongKong and is proprietary I think that's the reason for it anyway. sh executable issue: I am unable to to install the software normally via terminal commands you mentioned/Synaptic. What am I doing wrong? Is this specific to Nemo? I don't see the Square Button with an icon in it. On to the new post I promised, requesting Put.IO integration with 'Online Accounts' in Zorin 'Settings'. Blows my mind that there are so many people out there with the same opinion about Nautilus developers going the M$ route with the usual corporate tendencies to ignore user input regarding potential issues or improvements that can be made to support quality control of the software they want their users to continue using.Īs stated in my 'instant-search' post about another bothersome feature of Nautilus I decided to drop it and swim with nemo which I've found is already 90% better for my use purposes.Īlso managed to re-mount my Put.IO drive again after the nemo hiccup detailed in the linked post above - even nemo's interface/fluidity/performance/config & preference options and response are better than Nautlius when browsing these online drives. Thanks I went to the link you provided and although the main posts didn't solve my issue, I followed the 'duplicate post' link and found the fine text leading to the alternative nemo option at the very bottom of the post-answerer's entry. While I'm here is there a way to get a title bar for these Nautilus windows so I don't have to carefully ensure I do not place my cursor on the search bar when attempting to drag a window - I do that A LOT! This request comes from searching Google and Zorin Forum for every key word that came to mind - and while there are similar requests out there for Ubuntu, none had an answer.Īdditional information/resource on Zorin and typeahead functionality would be amazing as well. In short, I'm looking for a way to modify the "interactive search" / "typeahead search" feature in nautilus. The system Settings app only shows radio switches to disable or enable searching of specific results shown in the "Activities Overview" - I'm not quite sure what this does or how it works. Tweaks didn't have it, nor did Zorin Appearance. Since ubuntu already has an option to search via Ctrl+F shortcut, is there any method to disable this "direct search" feature? I only want to use Ctrl+F and didn't find any related settings in every preferences/settings menu that made sense. I use my keyboard for navigation more than the trackpad, and also have a wild household with a keyboard that seems to fly across rooms at will.Īccidental key presses cause this search to open very frequently which is quite frustrating, especially if I'm using my own fat fingers. While in the file explorer app (Nautilus), on pressing any character, alphabet or number key opens up the search function.
