Add shortcut to the Launcher
Method B
I could not create a launchable icon to some items with the Method A, so here is the plan B. We will use the Terminal shorcut and edit its properties for our purposes.
- Run termninal (Ctrl+Alt+T)
- Drag the icon from the launcher to the desktop.
- Right-click on the icon - Properties. Change the name and the Command as desired. Close.
- Test the new icon by double clicking on it.
- You may drag it to the launcher now and make permanent there if desired:
- Right click on the launcher icon and "Lock to Launcher".
Method A
Add a shortcut to the Launcher. For example to the Downloads folder
sudo apt-get install gnome-panel gnome-desktop-item-edit ~/Desktop/ --create-new
Then edit the Command field to point to "nautilus Downloads"
Then drag the shortcut icon to the Launcher
