I just downloaded and installed an application from outside any repository -- it uses no libraries -- and I'd like to add it to the menu, put a button for it on the panel, etc.
Actually, I've added it to the menu, but apparently I don't know how to enter the command to make the application run. The application's name is "treepadlite," no extension. When I double click on the file name in Konqueror, it runs. So I just entered the file name in the "command" field for the application in Menu Editor. But when I do this, clicking on the the line for the application in the menu doesn't cause it to run.
I notice some other applications have additional characters along with the file name in the "command" field. Obviously, the file name is not enough in this case.
Assuming some other characters are required, how do I know which ones? If not other characters, what is required?
Thanks in advance,
