Hi
Since updating from 18.04 to 20.04, setting .desktop file’s metadata::trusted to true no longer displays the icon specified in .desktop file on desktop.
I now have to right-click on the .desktop file and select “Allow launching” to display the icon specified in .desktop file on desktop.
Is there a bash command that does the same as right-clicking on the .desktop file and selecting “Allow launching” ?
Try this way:
chmod +x file.desktop
No. chmod +x doesn’t allow the desktop icon to launch app.
I’m using the following commands.
cp MyApp.desktop ~/Desktop
chmod 755 ~/Desktop/MyApp.desktop
gvfs-set-attribute ~/Desktop/MyApp.desktop “metadata::trusted” yes
gio set ~/Desktop/MyApp.desktop “metadata::trusted” yes
touch ~/Desktop/MyApp.desktop
