Software

FreeCAD

FreeCAD stores config in two places on Ubuntu:

  • ~/.config/FreeCAD
  • ~/.local/share/FreeCAD

The desktop launcher expects to find FreeCAD in /home/user/Documents/Software/freecad/RC1/FreeCAD_RC1.AppImage

Desktop Launcher

To make the appimage show up and launch from the desktop launcher, a .desktop file needs to be created in the location ~/.local/share/applications

  1. Do a git pull into that folder
  2. Run the python script that updates all the desktop launcher files to use the current logged-in user
  3. Move the .desktop file up one directory
  4. Move the png up one directory

After this udate the desktop database with sudo update-desktop-database
