I recently installed a program to my Kubuntu 20.04 system called Microblocks.
It is a scratch-like program for things like an ESP-32.
The problem is that it doesn't appear anywhere in my application launcher, but
if I type the name in on the 'search' bar of the AL, it finds it. Does anybody
know how I can add it to the Application Launcher? I am having the same
problem with the Arduino IDE.
Peter,
There are two ways to do this; one for the main Application launcher as you
requested and one for the Widgets on an Activity.
I can't give you a step by step, because it depends on the program concerned.
For the main Launcher; right-click the launcher icon and select 'Edit
Applications...'. This launches the KDE Menu Editor. Click on the appropriate
Menu Item, eg 'System', right=click on that and select 'New Item'. Then fill
in the blanks including the command that launches the program.
Ah, herein is the rub. I don't know where the program is stored. And with the
Arduino one, I have installed and removed it so many times trying to find a
version that works for me that I am sure that my computer is full of junk. PS
Arduino IDE vn.2 I couldn't get on with trying to find the hardware that i
needed. It has a known bug.
To do it as a Widget you need the Widget 'QuickLaunch' installed then simply
right-click within the QuickLaunch area and proceed as with the main App
Launcher.
Not interested in this.
Let us know how you get on.
