So i have this game (stardew valley modding api) that for startup needs a terminal window for the game to start, i have the game on bottles and when i added it to cartridges pops me an error when i start the app (bc it cannot open a terminal or xterm window)

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Add the game
  2. Add the launch command
  3. Start the game and an erroe would drop

Expected behavior
The game should Start

System (please complete the following information):

  • OS: [Fedora Linux]

  • Cartridges version [2.0.6]

Additional context
Is there a way to make a command start with a terminal window ?

For now, you can just change the executable to something like gnome-terminal -e "[executable]".

I'll change the label to enhancement as Cartridges is not at fault here, but maybe we can work around it for games that need a terminal in the future. (Though so far, only Stardew seems to be affected.)

I think this issue is more or less solved by the desktop entry importer. It runs games that require a terminal inside one.
