i installed spyder3 and tried to add its launcher to the gnome panel. i could not get this to work... i tried several things:
i launched spyder3 and clicked on its icon in the panel hoping for an 'Add to Favourites' menu item - there is none.
i looked for a
.desktop
file ($ dpkg -L spyder3 | grep '\.desktop'
). it exists and is located at/usr/share/applications/spyder3.desktop
. i tried to drag+drop that to the panel. that did not work either.i tried to add
spyder3.desktop
on the command-line to the settings favourites (something like$ gsettings set org.gnome.shell favorite-apps "['firefox.desktop', ..., 'spyder3.desktop']"
). logged out & in again. also that did not work.i tried to create a custom spyder3 launcher using
$ gnome-desktop-item-edit
. that does create an (executable).desktop
file but i could not add it to the launcher either.
is there a way to add a launcher for spyder3? how?
