Location of program shortcut for Google Chrome

General Discussion

I need to find it and edit it. Is there a way of doing that? I’m using Natty Narwhal(Ubuntu V11)

Which shortcut ? … the one in the Unity launcher ?

And what do you wish to edit about it ?

3

Yes, the one on the unity launcher and i need to edit it to use a browser add on without interruption.

AFAIK Unity doesn’t store the symlinks… but there’s nothing to stop you creating a custom launcher somewhere, then dragging it to the Unity launcher bar

[EDIT]

I’m going to take a guess that it is -
/usr/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop

But If I were you I’d copy that to somewhere like -
~/.local/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop
edit it… then drag that copy to the luancher… then unpin the original.

or at the VERY least, back it up first :wink:

so…

cp /usr/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop

then

gedit ~/.local/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop

make your changes (to the Exec= line ?) and save… then

nautilus ~/.local/share/applications

and drag the google-chrome.desktop file to the launcher.
