I'm very new to Linux, and I'm trying to make my application (bash script) pinnable to taskbar (I have Solus).
I'm doing this via desktop entry (copied and modified from another application that is pinnable). This is my "install"-script:
#!/usr/bin/env sh
BASE_DIR="$(cd "$(dirname "$0")"; pwd)" || exit 2
mkdir -p "$HOME"/.local/share/applications
cat "$HOME"/.local/share/applications/example.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Example
Exec=$BASE_DIR/example.sh
Icon=$BASE_DIR/example.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Keywords=example;sample;test;
EOF
However, my application still cannot be pinned/favorited to taskbar. But it does appear in Solus application menu, and the keywords will find it from there too.
What might I be doing wrong? Do I need to do something more?
