<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>If not too complicated, would it be possible to include a .desktop file in the Ubuntu installers?<br></div><div>It's not necessary per se, but it would be useful.<br></div><div><br></div>
A file like drracket-<version>.desktop, to be placed in either /usr/share/applications for a system-wide installation or in ~/.local/share/applications otherwise.<br></div>This file would look like this:<br><br>[Desktop Entry]<br>
Encoding=UTF-8<br>Name=DrRacket<br>Comment=Racket IDE<br>Exec=drracket %F<br>Terminal=false<br>Type=Application<br>Icon=/usr/lib/racket-5.3.2.3/collects/icons/plt-logo-red-diffuse.png<br>StartupNotify=true<br>Categories=Development;<br>
<br></div><div>The Icon line also depends on the installation type.<br>(Personally, I don't really care much about non-system-wide installation, as as keep only the last version of Racket on my computer.)<br></div><div>
