Hello,

I have already installed Ring on Linux and can run Ring programs successfully.

Now I would like to make my Ring Notepad application behave like a normal Linux desktop application. How can I:

Launch Ring Notepad with a single click from the Applications menu?

  Thank you.

Hello Max

You could try

(1) A shell script (*.sh) file that launch Ring Notepad (using ring.exe) or (using ringpm)

(2) Creating an executable file (instead of *.sh file), you can create a *.ring script using system() function and Ring2EXE

(3) Other options include using Ring2EXE to distribute Ring Notepad as we do with other Ring apps (This is more complex than option 1 or option 2) 

Greetings,
Mahmoud
