Desktop icon doesn't start Asciinema

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

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.
