Ok so SOLUTION was given here. Locking Wine applications in the launcher is not permanent
I am trying to recreate steps one by one as above was difficult for me to understand.
Ok my aim. To show everything at dash and lock it to the launcher.
Location of wine app: /home/android/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/everything.exe
location of everything_exe.desktop:
android@android:~$ locate everything
/home/android/.local/share/applications/everything_exe.desktop
Ok so if i drag the .desktop file to the launcher to lock then its not working.
android@android:~$ cat everything_exe.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=everything
Icon=c__program_files_everything_everything_exe.png
Path=/home/android/.wine/drive_c/users/android/Temp/nsnb31.tmp/everything (deleted)
Exec=C:\\Program Files\\everything\\everything.exe
StartupNotify=false
StartupWMClass=everything.exe
OnlyShowIn=Unity;
X-UnityGenerated=true
I modified the above to
android@android:~$ nano everything.exe
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=everything
Icon=everything_exe.png
Exec=wine '/home/android/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Everything/Everything.exe'
StartupNotify=false
StartupWMClass=everything.exe
OnlyShowIn=Unity;
X-UnityGenerated=true
Ok Now when i drag the file to launcher it is now locking to launcher. The file is LAUNCHING
now left to solve is why is it not showing in my dash.........
