I have PhpStorm on my PC, to launch it I have to go to phpstorm/bin/ and launch phpstorm.sh, how can I pin this to launcher so that I dont have to go into folders every time?
Use IDE to create launcher. Open Tools -> Create Desktop Entry...
Alternate method:
You need to create a application launcher first.
Installing gnome-panel
sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends gnome-panel
To create launcher
sudo gnome-desktop-item-edit /usr/share/applications/ --create-new
This will open up a "Create Launcher" window
Type: Application
Name: PhpStorm
Command: /bin/bash path_to/phpstorm.sh
Comment: Any Comment
This will create a launcher file in /usr/share/applications directory. Now double click and open the file.
Once the file is launched. You can see the process in the unity launcher. Right click on the icon in the unity launcher and click "Lock to Launcher"
Alternatively you can create a .desktop file
Found this .desktop file here. I haven't tested it. Try your luck.
