Create a .desktop file from script

Help

Hi everyone,

That must be a very basic question, but I’ve read this Nixos wiki on creating nix scripts and I wonder how to make of this a .desktop file in KDE, including an icon path (which would ideally be in the same folder)?

Thanks and all the best,

You can use makeDesktopItem, e.g.:

Thanks a lot @danieldk – it’s working perfectly and I can add an icon attribute to writeScriptBin.
