Hi, a request from the forum area.

Phil, is there any easy way to create a custom launcher either on the panel

I think they're referring to something like what I was given for the Trash
Can, but not sure if there is something in 10.10 a3 for doing this.

[Desktop Entry]

Type=Application

Version=1.0

Name=Trash

Name[de]=Mülleimer

Exec=pcmanfm trash:///

Icon=emptytrash

Terminal=false

OnlyShowIn=GNOME;XFCE;


Save it as trash.desktop on the Desktop. The Desktop should then show a
Trash icon.

Right clicking and "emptying trash" does not work though.


Thanks,

Phill.
