Desktop icon doesn't start Asciinema

Post by Jasper »

Hi all

I compiled Asciinema using Rust ( my first time using this language/compiler).

It is a single binary file which will capture your content in terminal.

Once again I cannot create a desktop entry for the application.

The desktop entry icon when clicked upon, should open up a terminal window as shown in my screenshot.

If you can help it would be appreciated :thumbup2:

Terminal=true

No, Terminal=false is correct
Terminal=true would invoke xterm -e urxvt -e /usr/bin/asciinema, That would be less efficient and wouldn't solve the problem.

@Jasper Try Exec:urxvt -hold -e asciinema

Thank you both, unfortunately neither additions do what I had expected.

In this instance, I will just leave it as a binary package for users.
