How do I create an icon for the program

[zerosapte (radu dumitrescu)]

I just compiled RT from code, following the instructions on Rawpedia, because the (only) available package was a flatpack and it had some problems with finding some directories on a secondary drive.

Now how do I create an icon for it on my dock (dash-to-panel).

Also, for future reference, how would I go about completely removing the built program?

You need to grant permission to the flatpak. The easiest way is get the program Flatseal.

Create a .desktop file for it.

Remove the folder and the .desktop file you’ll create.

Create a .desktop file for it.

Where do I store that and what should it contain?
