setup.sh launcher icon

[jjoonathan]

Hey, so I keep making Ubuntu launcher icons for spike, reinstalling, forgetting how to do it, figuring it out, and then rediscovering my old notes after figuring it out again. If you could add this to setup.sh maybe you could save me from myself.

You probably want to substitute an icon that isn’t a screenshot, too, but this one is fine in a pinch.

Cheers,
J

ICON_FILE=./com.signalhound.spike.png
APP_TEMPLATE=./com.signalhound.spike.desktop
APP_DEST=/usr/share/applications/com.signalhound.spike.desktop
sudo install -m 644 $ICON_FILE /usr/share/icons
cat $APP_TEMPLATE | sed s:INSTALL_DIR:$(pwd):g | sudo tee $APP_DEST >/dev/null
sudo update-desktop-database /usr/share/applications

Awesome! We’ll definitely take a look at this. I think we tried to do something similar in the past.

Thanks!
