Putting icons on desktop
Putting icons on desktop
Which and where R script files, inserting paths for .png or .jpg icon files, to create icon on desktop for apps. After installing latest Firefox and Seamonkey browsers into /usr/lib dir, both must be launched from inside a terminal prompt window. HOW2 launch from desktop? BTW Thanx L18L
You should be able to open the directory/folder with the program you're trying to run, in ROX-Filer (assuming the version of Puppy you're using uses ROX-Filer ) and drag the program's icon to the desktop.
That should create a shortcut to the program on the desktop (the program will stay where it was). You can right-click on the shortcut and use the options to change the shortcut's name and icon.

Hi ChpFrl.
The application's run-file must be in the executable path, i.e. a '/bin' directory.
Any directory in the path is suitable for an application's run-file.

EDIT: I just updated from firefox v.17 to v.18, and the former was placed in /usr/lib/, while the latest installed in /usr/share.

- You have downloaded the firefox directory to /usr/lib/firefox-(version).
- Open the directory, and drag the file 'firefox' to /usr/bin/ as a relative link (a.k.a. symlink).
- Drag the /usr/bin/firefox to the desktop, and give it an icon by right-clicking on the symbol on the desktop.
Code: Select all
# echo $PATH
