Give different name to application shortcut than its Name tag

linux-howto

http://askubuntu.com – Is there a way to create an application shortcut that executes a script and appears in Unity dock under a different name? I ask this since I have a script that launches several related apps (in this case qjackctl, followed by an audio app) to make users' experience more streamlined. However, when qjackctl is launched, it shows up in the Unity dock as a new icon with a question mark and the same name as the name of the shortcut (instead of appearing under the existing qjackctl shortcut). I think qjackctl is written in qt (not sure if that makes any difference). So, is there a way to force (HowTos)

QjackCtl, a simple Qt application that can be used to control the JACK sound server daemon, specific for the Linux Audio Desktop infrastructure, is now at version 0.3.10.

QjackCtl is written in C++, around the Qt4 toolkit for X11, and uses the Qt Designer exclusively.

The current version of qjackctl (0.3.8-1) on Oneiric 11.10 installs a script in /usr/bin/qjackctl which runs pasuspender before launching /usr/lib/qjackctl/ajackctl.real, which results in pulse audio suspending for the duration of the qjackctl session.

This is the correct thing to do when running jackd1, because jackd1 and pulseaudio don't get along.

But it is incorrect when running jackd2,

Yesterday I ran an update on my Acer Aspire One, which I operate under Fedora11. Umongst the updates was also an update for Qjackctl and the jack audio connection kit.

Shell Script Desktop Shortcut 13 weeks 3 days ago

So i tried making a desktop shortcut which executes a very simple shell script. But when i double click/right click->execute it, it does nothing. (or atleast i think it does nothing)

heres how my shortcut and shell script looks: Note the shortcut has "Terminal" set to 1, and i hope that means that it opens the shell script in a new terminal window..

Thanks to helander for:[code]Title:          qjackctl.tczDescription:    Jack ControlVersion:        0.3.5Author:         Rui Nuno CapelaOriginal-site:  http://qjackctl.sourceforge.net/

Everything worked fine in 11.10. Upgrading to 12.04 has introduced errors in starting jack??

Initially, I was using QJackctl and found that it was using /usr/bin/jackdmp for the server. This was in the setup>options page. I was getting an error along the lines of 'cannot start server err - file does not exist'.

Camera Shortcut Missing 38 weeks 1 day ago

Hi,

I installed Cyanogen Mod, on my HTC One X, but there is no camera shortcut, and the one from the locks screen stopped working, so I need to create an icon...

I want to create a shortcut for a folder on unity. How is it possible?

Edit:- I would think of this shortcut as quick-link in windows for referencing a frequently used item easily without having to navigate the directory structure every time I need to access it.

In an android app I am making, I want to allow users to place shortcuts on their homescreen that will make my app perform certain actions. So far, I made it successfully create the shortcut (they are created through the launcher, not through the app directly).
