Help with (.desktop) Desktop Shortcut
#1
Hello,

I am trying to place shortcuts to some websites on my app drawer, but they don't show up. I created some simple .desktop files like this:

Code:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Pine64 Forum
Type=Link
URL=https://forum.pine64.org
Icon=/home/user/.local/share/app_logos/logo.png

This is, what Firefox creates, when I do this on my desktop pc. The "desktop-file-validate" tool doesn't report errors.
I tried placing the file in "/usr/share/applications" and in "/home/user/.local/share/applications".

I rebooted several times, but I don't get to see anything in the app drawer.

Can someone help me with this?

Thanks!
