shortcut in ubuntu menu (unity)

[gotouch]

Hi, I'm on ubuntu 11.04 with the Unity environment.
I'd like to create a shortcut of an application in wine to the ubuntu menu, but it doesn't work.
How can I do that ?
Thanks a lot,

just curious but why do you need a shortcut if its in the menu? Does the extra "click" cause you distress my liege?

But seriously - I haven't been on ubuntu in a while. But I recall that its not that hard with GNOME.

I would try something like this:

Locate "application.exe" in your system - whatever app your trying to do this with.

So edit your application.sh file like so....

#!/bin/sh
cd /path/to/game/
wine game.exe

That should work - especially if you were not sure how to set up the path for your exe.


Like lets say I want to set up a game short cut - my wow shell script, from desktop.

#!/bin/bash
cd /home/ultra/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Games/world of warcraft
wine "wow.exe"

Make sure you have the proper syntax in your script. Forgetting the /cd or missing a period can fuckz it upz.

good luck
