mkdf

This little tool creates a .desktop file at ~/.local/share/applications which contains only some Information.

Currently the user can decide on the following content:

• Visible name
• Executable path
• Optional Icon

Why

I was annoyed by manually creating those files, since some applications don't do it themselves.

Installation

go get github.com/Bios-Marcel/mkdf

Make sure that $GOPATH/bin is part of your PATH variable or manually add the binary to your path.

Usage

Simply invoke the tool, it will guide you!
