@Enumber Enumber released this 20 Jul 04:29

First public release.

Dropdesk puts any installed app back on your GNOME desktop — the feature GNOME removed. Pick apps from a searchable list and it drops ready-to-run .desktop shortcuts on your desktop, already marked trusted, so double-clicking just works with no "Allow Launching?" prompt.

Install

git clone https://github.com/Enumber/dropdesk.git
cd dropdesk
bash install.sh

No sudo required. This puts a launcher on your desktop and in your application menu.

Run bash install.sh --help for advanced options (custom install location, system-wide install, menu entry only, uninstall).

Requirements

Python 3 and PyGObject (GTK 3), shipped by default on most desktop distributions. See the README for per-distribution package names.

Notes

The UI follows your system language (English or Chinese). Chinese documentation: README.zh-CN.md

modified version you distribute has to stay open under the GPL as well.
