Yes - if it's command-line based then you'll need to evoke it via xterm though (see http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...5&postcount=24 for an example).

OMG this is cool
thank you guys for the help.

I've created a cool little script that lets me pick the repo I want to check and then it lists all the installs from that repo and I have a desktop short cut now.

Last question can images in the desktop file be at any path?

For the icon? I'm not sure - generally it's just the icon name and the system then looks in the various icon directories to find it (/usr/share/icons/hicolor, ~/.local/share/icons/hicolor, etc). You may be able to put a full path in there, but I've never tried it.

cool thanks.

I have also noticed that the x-term window closed when my sh file is finished running how to make it stay open until the user closes it?

Another thing I noticed is that if I remove the file myfile.desktop from the hildon folder that it sill exists in the add shortcut list.
How do I remove it completely

Add a "read" command to the end of it, e.g:
Code:
read LINE
That'll wait for you to press enter before continuing (and exiting).

I don't know - have you tried rebooting? It may cache the existence of the .desktop file.

yeah tried a reboot and the icon is still there to pick, but it doesn't run anything when you click it so seems taht the icons stays but the file is gone so no code, I'll play around and see what happens

thanks again

I assume the read LINE is in my sh file

Yes, just stick it at the end.
