Custom app menu entries

These can be used for either ~/.local/share/applications or /usr/local/share/applications which are read by graphical desktop environments for their app menus and default applications selections.

Additionally ~/.config/autostart or /etc/xdg/autostart could symlink here so graphical desktop environments started the apps on login.

a-*.desktop

These files are companions to my script repos bash/usr-local-bin/* belonging to /usr/local/share/applications and are named so to avoid masking package manager. They have clearly different names such as using all caps.

Refreshing the menus

update-desktop-database -v ~/.local/share/applications
sudo update-desktop-database -v /usr/local/share/applications
