[Feature request] Provide context menu item to locate the .desktop file

Open CutterXYZ opened this issue 5 months ago • 2 comments

It would be great if you could locate a .desktop file by right-clicking an app in the dock and clicking on a "Locate desktop file" menu item. A file explorer would open at the .desktop file's location with the file highlighted. This menu item could be optional.

Take a look at this: https://github.com/Dannflower/edit-desktop-files While this extension doesn't let you edit from the dock, it should be fairly close to what you want. You could see if Dannflower would be interested in adding dash-to-dock functionality to his extension; But I currently have a... healthy amount of doubt that it'll make it's way into dash-to-dock.

Thanks, that's indeed the feature I'm describing. I wonder why you think it won't make its way into dash to dock ?
