Thanks for the bug report. Looks like /home/demberto/.local/share/applications/ doesn't exist. Is that correct?

If so, the fix should be easy enough, will just need to make the calling code create the directory.

Damn, I will check this tommorow for sure. Yea the fix would be simple, like using os.mkdirs.
