Hi All,

Xfce 4.14

Whne I right click on the desktop and select
"Create Launcher", Xfce lists various launchers
already installed in the system. Where are these
launchers located? .config? .local?

Many thanks,
-T

$ ls -l .local/share/a*
ls: cannot access '.local/share/a*': No such file or directory

I'd deleted and recreated the test account, including it's /home directory before

..local/share/applications/ does exist on my main account, which uses kde plasma.

Those and many of the rest I snipped are kde and gnome files, not xfce4.
For xfce4 as per the original question, it's launchers are in ~/Desktop.

And they are way too many to be user defined files, they must have been

Chrome has several ones, no idea why.

You guys are talking about two different things.

The files in /usr/share/applications (and ~/.local/share/applications)
are the predefined .desktop files that ship with the various packages.
Those are the ones in the list of available items that can be easily
added to your desktop using the "Create Launcher" widget that the OP
mentioned. They're basically templates for system-wide use.

~/Desktop is where you'll find the set of actually installed launchers
that are on your desktop. That set varies per user and will be
customized to suit each one's own needs. ~/Desktop will likely contain
a subset of the others and possibly some customized ones that don't
exist elsewhere.

Hi John-Paul,

"predefined .desktop files", "templates for system-wide
use" was what I was after.

And in MATE/gnome at least, you can create your own custom launchers.

Don't say "~/Desktop" when you mean XDG_DESKTOP_DIR because that
location can be reset. I, for one, really loathe X11 thinking it should
create directories with capital letters in my $HOME, so I set values for
all of them in that file. (Further I believe that the desktop directory
should be free from all icons, so I use a special directory for it. This
I gather is is not a universally held opinion.)
