Welcome to the Linux (Debian 12) Shortcut Creator.

This program will ensure your program/package/application has:

• A desktop shortcut
• Appears on your dashboard desktop environment

This program is written in C# and when built, creates a natively executable filetype for Linux (run like so: ./Shortcutter). So no .dll file and no requirement for dotnet installation.

Manual steps this program solves:

• Creating a .desktop file for an app/program
• Copying .desktop file to ~/.local/share/applications to ensure it appears in dashboard
• Validating the file and checking for errors
