So I decided I couldn't do without an icon in my launcher so I made my own and decided to share it.

Extract the zip file to your /usr/bin/ folder.

From a terminal, run

Code: [Select]

sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/mediacenter.desktop
Click and drag the icon to your launcher.

From terminal, type

Code: [Select]

sudo updatedb
It still doesn't show up in ALT + Tab, but you get that...

The appropriate place for desktop-files is /usr/share/applications for applications that are systemwide installed and ~/.local/share/applications for user-specific applications.

And since this file doesn't need to be executed you don't need to change its mode bits.

Edit: The reason why mediacenter isn't showing up in the task switcher (Alt+Tab) or panel is probably due to some compatibility issues with Unity/Compiz. Other window managers seem to recognize MC's window.

Yep. I've updated the locations on my system and am putting together a new script.
RE the window manager, I'm looking into it.
Am new to Linux in terms of file locations etc. Can use it day to day, but haven't gone under the hood too much as yet.

Thanks for the help.

It's always fun to learn new stuff

Thanks for the files. Now I have a proper media center launcher

Moved stuff around a bit and it's incorporated into the next build, thanks!

Glad I could be of help :-)
