Add XFCE compatible desktop icon #22

Open jsno8192 opened 3 years ago

Requested by giantclambake (aka wotnot). He has strongly recommended I include a XFCE compatible decktop icon in 4.0. I will look into it tomorrow (no promises !):

Create desktop_icon.png (GCB's recommendation is a 606 droid)

Get the cmake script to create and copy this file to ~/Desktop/Nighthawk.desktop or .../share/applications/Nighthawk.desktop:

--$--------------------------

[Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Type=Application Name=Nighthawk Comment= Exec=.../bin/nighthawk Icon=.../share/nighthawk/Nighthawk/logo.png Path= Terminal=false StartupNotify=false --$--------------------------

About the only thing I might comment on in regard to this is: where would the debug log go? Currently debug goes to stdout. A program launched from the desktop doesn't have its stdout/stderr redirected to files.

You are right. It's not kosher. It should output to an optional file. We can change that in 4.1dev if you like ?
