How to add Sublime text to dash

rated 0 times [ 10] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 30430 / 3 Years ago, sat, september 4, 2021, 5:13:39

I tried 2 types of links and it still I cant add it! I use the unregistered 64 version. On Ubuntu forums and external site

Why is it not coming in the dash board. What is wrong? I even restarted the system to check if it came after the restart after the .desktop file. While the solution listed on the ubuntu forum asks to enter "main menu", there is no match in mine.

Open Terminal and write this command

sudo sublime /usr/share/applications/sublime.desktop

This will create a file name sublime.desktop in the user/share/applications/ folder and open it for you.

Copy paste the following content in it and save the file

[Desktop Entry]

Version=1.0

Name=Sublime Text 2

*#Only KDE 4 seems to use GenericName, so we reuse the KDE strings.*

*#From Ubuntu's language-pack-kde-XX-base packages, version 9.04-20090413.*

GenericName=Text Editor 

Exec=sublime

Terminal=false

Icon=/usr/lib/Sublime Text 2/Icon/48x48/sublime_text.png

Type=Application

Categories=TextEditor;IDE;Development

X-Ayatana-Desktop-Shortcuts=NewWindow

[NewWindow Shortcut Group]

Name=New Window

Exec=sublime -n

TargetEnvironment=Unity

You will see the Sublime-Text icon in the dash-board. right click the icon and click

Lock in Launcher
