I've downloaded IntelliJ Idea, then just unziped it and run it by execute idea.sh
in terminal and made a new project. I wanted to see what would happen if I simply right click on icon at the left side bar in Unity -> lock to Launcher
instead of standard way of making new idea.desktop
file also used for making Eclipse launcher icon. And it just made icon on launcher wich runs that particular project. After that I've made idea.desktop
icon standard way and it looks like this:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=IntelliJ IDEA
Type=Application
Exec=idea.sh
Terminal=false
Icon=/opt/idea/idea-IC-135.909/bin/idea.png
Comment=Integrated Development Environment
NoDisplay=false
Categories=Development;IDE;
Name[en]=IntelliJ IDEA
X-Desktop-File-Install-Version=0.22
Now when I click on that standard idea.desktop
it runs another instance of application (that one which I've made with right click on icon on left side bar in Unity -> lock to Launcher
) and it results with situation shown on image below.
I am trying to find this something.desktop
icon which I have made with lock to Launcher
if any and delete it, but I can't find it in /usr/share/applications
.
- What Ubuntu actually does when I click on
lock to Launcher
? - Whether it creates some
.desktop
file or something else? - How can I delete icon made by
lock to Launcher
?
