Detailed Description

Create a Linux launcher file for fosKeyMan.

It is assumed, that the current directory:

• contains the binary (compiled program) called fosKeyMan,
• contains the logo foskeyman_logo_short.svg.
• will be the working directory for fosKeyMan (config and log files will be written here).

The file fosKeyMan.desktop is created in the current directory. The file can be copied to the desktop. Copy the launcher to ~/.local/share/applications/ if you want the launcher to show up in the start menu of the desktop environment

For the documentation on the format, see the Desktop Entry Specification.
