My mistake. I've found that if I use my own app named Maintain Desktop
Configuration Files (written in Gambas using apps from desktop-file-
utils & gnome-panel packages) to install a .desktop file from one of my
home folders, then the Dash can find it. However, if I use a Terminal cp
command then it cannot.

Title:
  When I create .desktop files, they don't get found by Trusty's Dash

Status in “unity-lens-applications” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Magnifier not found by Trusty's Dash though Manage Launcher (both
  variants) are. I've tried creating Magnifier.desktop both with 'Manage
  Launcher', 'Manage Launcher (Administrator)' & Arronax.
