Re: gambas3.desktop install idea to detect installed toolkits...

[Bruce Steers <bsteers4@xxxxxxxxx>]

forgot to attach the script...

PS. running the script will remove and re-install the installed desktop
file (in ~/.local/share/applications/)
comment out the last 2 lines to make a /tmp/gambas3.desktop for your
examination but not install it.

#echo "$ENTRY$ACTIONS"
echo "$ENTRY$ACTIONS" >/tmp/gambas3.desktop
#xdg-desktop-menu uninstall /tmp/gambas3.desktop # remove old before
installing new.
#xdg-desktop-menu install --novendor /tmp/gambas3.desktop
