How to launch Google Chrome Application Shortcuts in Linux?
- by Michael Rose
I've got Chrome running on my Linux netbook, it's great and, unlike the Mac version, the 'Create Application Shortcut' option isn't greyed out.
So I created one for Gmail. The 'applications' get stored at ~/.local/share/applications but I haven't managed to launch it yet.
If I use Chrome in terminal
$ google-chrome ~/.local/share/applications/google-application-reallylong-randomname.thing
It opens the file in a new tab in Chrome and helpfully downloads it for me!
Anyone got application shortcuts working in Linux?
