Hi, does anyone know how to add custom app to app launcher?
My problem:
I currently have to run abaddon in the terminal to run this app, I would like to be able to launch it from: super space launcher
#add desktop app to app launcher

Hey @inland tulip, how did you install it? When I install it directly from the AUR, it shows up in the app launcher automatically (albeit without an app icon).
(I installed it via Menu > Install > AUR > abaddon, not abaddon-git)
Alternatively, you should be able to create a .desktop file under ~/.local/share/applications
Something like this should work (abaddon.desktop)
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Abaddon
Comment=Discord client
Exec=abaddon
Icon=</some/path>
Terminal=false
Categories=Network;Chat;
Just pick any Icon (or leave it out), run omarchy-restart-walker and it should pop up in your app launcher.

I actually git cloned and built it myself (that is their recommended approach on github, no?), anyways this configuration works, thanks mate and merry christmas!
Fell like this is something that should be in the docs? Did I miss it or its not there? I would be happy to create a PR for it if maintainers think its okay

You’re very welcome! 🙂 And Merry Christmas to you too.
Actually, I’m not even sure the docs are "open" for PRs. I double-checked just now and found this GitHub Discussion, which I believe goes in the direction of what you were asking about:

Alternatively, you should be able to create a `.desktop` file under `~/.local/sh...
Is there another location for app launchers? I'm getting two Edges in Walker, but I only have one in .local/share/applications
