How to create a custom launcher in Cairo Dock?












1















I'm trying to create a custom launcher for Aptana Studio in my Cairo Dock. I begun by right click → Add custom launcher and I'm stuck at entering the command? What am I supossed to put in there (I tried ./AptanaStudio3 - but it doesn't work). I'm using Ubuntu 12.04.



I have already created an Aptana Studio 3.desktop file and it has an icon; my only problem is I cannot put it into my cairo dock.



How do I create a custom launcher in Cairo Dock for Aptanan Studio?

  • Actually by default the Applications Menu applet is enabled, so you can just drag any program from this menu into the dock.

  • That's wierd. cause when im running aptana it automatically be in my dock but when i close it it will also be gone on cairo. What i do on my other application is that I run it so it will be on my dock and then right clicking on it and click the "make it a Launcher" option. that just doesnt work on aptana same goes with update manager.
