What is wrong with my .desktop file ???
I wrote a simple c++ program for learning purposes and all is fine with this. I compiled with g++ and got a .out file (thought the .out may be relevant).
So I thought why not make a launcher for it, this is it menu.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Game
Exec=/home/mark/Documents/cpp/Game_menu_project/menu.out
Terminal=true
Name=Menu
At first it had a lot of options but after many errors this if what remains.
If I click it
There was an error launching the application
In a terminal
menu.desktop: line 1: [Desktop: command not found
I know the exec command is right because if I make a simple bash script
#!/bin/bash
/home/mark/Documents/cpp/Game_menu_project/menu.out
It runs fine, so I changed the exec to run the menu.sh, same errors.
Other .desktops are running fine, I use one at boot to set up the display, works fine if I click it, whats going on ?
I have seen this question and the one it is marked duplicate of, but believe my issue is diffrent as I don't want to run the .desktop in a terminal, I want my menu.out to open in a new terminal ( Thats what Terminal=true should do right ?.
