I didn't try, I just used your commands verbatim, I thought it was referring to the executable.

Awesome Donkey:
Unfortunately it won't work with the spaces in the name of the .desktop file which is what it tries to use. I'll do some research tomorrow to see if there's a way around it.

EDIT: Okay, I have it. It looks like you can install a second .desktop file without spaces, then use the following in that .desktop file to keep it hidden from the menus (so there's only one MC entry in the menus);


--- Code: ---NoDisplay=true
--- End code ---

That should do it! :)

Ok, I'll give this a try in the next build.
Thanks for tracking it down!
