Desktop entry isn't showing up

[DaanKorver]

I tried to manually make a desktop entry just like the installer said but for some reason it just won't show up.

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Photoshop CC
Exec=cd "/home/daan/Downloads/Linux-PhotoshopCC-v22/PS-Prefix/drive_c/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop 2021/" && WINEPREFIX="/home/daan/Downloads/Linux-PhotoshopCC-v22/PS-Prefix" wine photoshop.exe
Type=Application
Comment=Photoshop CC 2021
Categories=Graphics;2DGraphics;RasterGraphics;GTK;
Icon=/home/daan/Downloads/Linux-PhotoshopCC-v22/.photoshop.png
StartupWMClass=photoshop.exe
MimeType=image/png;image/psd;image;

Hi @DaanKorver, what desktop environment are you using?
Also, does the command work when you run it from the terminal?

[DaanKorver]

I am using GNOME on Pop_OS!. Starting PS using the command on the terminal does work.

Its just the desktop entry that doesn't show up in applications.

Okay, I got the same problem on cinnamon.
Can you try changing the photoshop.desktop file's Exec=... command to:

./home/daan/Downloads/Linux-PhotoshopCC-v22/launcher.sh

I think this should fix it.

[DaanKorver]

Still doesn't show up for me :/

After doing some reading, this should help. Add this line to the .desktop file:

NoDisplay=false

However, this problem can be of many reasons. So I'll make sure that we solve it so that I can edit the script so it works with all DEs

Try this in your exec :
bash -c 'cd "/home/daan/Downloads/Linux-PhotoshopCC-v22/PS-Prefix/drive_c/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop 2021/" && WINEPREFIX="/home/daan/Downloads/Linux-PhotoshopCC-v22/PS-Prefix" wine photoshop.exe'$

I haven't checked modification on that fork so it might not work. but you can't add more than 1 command in a desktop entry so bash -c should do the trick

Using Manjaro Gnome42, none of the suggestions work so far.
Although the app icon does appear in apps using a single command in the .desktop as @MiMillieuh noted. But it doesn't launch PS.

 5月 24 21:43:41 Sulaco photoshop.desktop[4534]: Application could not be started, or no application associated with the specified file.
 5月 24 21:43:41 Sulaco photoshop.desktop[4534]: ShellExecuteEx failed: File not found.

Exec=bash -c 'cd "/home/rico/Library/Linux-PhotoshopCC-v22/PS-Prefix/drive_c/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop 2021/" && WINEPREFIX="/home/rico/Library/Linux-PhotoshopCC-v22/PS-Prefix" wine photoshop.exe'$

Running the 'cd &&' in a terminal DOES launch PS, but the bash -c gives file not found.

right-clicking a file & using 'open with' does work correctly :-)

[riquezjp]

ok, now got it working!
a combination of the two solutions!

Exec=bash -c /home/rico/Library/Linux-PhotoshopCC-v22/launcher.sh

(also, a separate note about the desktop entry. there is a mimeType without sub-type 'image' should be 'image/jpeg' )

Seems to be solved for most people, therefore I'll close the issue and implement the solution in the new repo.
