Desktop shortcus to app - inside a Dektop folder
by alex4buba from LinuxQuestions.org on (#57CS5)
Hello,
I am using Ubuntu 20.04 (Yes, I am also registered for the Ubuntu forum, but the feedback from there is not as good....)
So, I managed to create a Dektop folder in GNOME UI, inside it I created shortcuts to various documents, just to reduce the clutter.
I am also using many apps (some original in the distro, some that I added myself). I created Desktop shortcuts to the most used. But, I tried to move those into another Desktop folder, is NOT working. The files became "Dead" and no longer provide the Symlink functionality.
1) Is there a way to do this in GNOME? or
2) Is there another GUI alternative that does this? KDE?
Thanks
Alex
