How to make a launcher(.desktop file) for a binary file?

Solution 1:

Here's an example - it starts xnview.sh:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Terminal=0
Exec=/home/pierre/Desktop/XnViewMP/xnview.sh
Icon=/home/pierre/Desktop/XnViewMP/xnview.png
Type=Application
Categories=Graphics;
StartupNotify=true
Name=XnView Multi Platform
GenericName=XnViewMP

Edit:

If You have a nasty complex command to be run - put it all in script and run the script. For example if You have to cd there first, and run the script from there make a script:

#!/bin/bash

cd /to/YourDir
./YourBinaryFile
