How to make a shortcut for Mplayer on the desktop
I have installed Mplayer from SuSE and now when I type gmplayer in Application Launcher it starts without any problem. So I decided to make a shortcut on the desktop. I right-clicked Create New Link To Application and in Application Command typed 'gmplayer'. When I click the icon, it launches the player but the hour-glass keeps rotating for some time. I tried to use the path instead the command like '/usr/bin/gmplayer', but the same it takes much longer to launch mplayer than typing in command line. What do I do wrong?

Thanks, it's very helpful for a newbie :) How can I do it?

had to edit........

Thanks a lot!

some executables can't be started directly.........so using a script like
above will work better than a "link to application" shortcut |
You've GOT to be kidding me
really, just make a launcher on the desktop and for the command put 'gmplayer' without the quotes that's all! |

adding on to trickykid's post, in the launcher, put the command
'/usr/bin/gmplayer' or wherever the 'executable' is located and I apologize for the above post. I never read your problem fully, only the title of the thread. |
