Postman app can't be added to docklike-plugin #131

When running Postman it appears as a cog on the dock, and there are no options to pin it.

I am on MX Linux 21, running xfce4-docklike-plugin 0.4.0+git20211128-1~mx21+1 and postman-9.19.3-linux-x64, downloaded from https://www.postman.com/.

I tried both installing by unzipping into /usr/local and using the flatpak from MX Package Installer's Flatpaks.

Looks like Postman was not creating a .desktop entry in ~/.local/share/applications. After editing Postman's start menu entry, a copy of the .desktop entry was created in that folder and the dock recognised the app properly.

See: https://www.forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php?p=685985#p685985

Not sure if this is an actual issue with docklike-plugin that should be looking for .desktop files somewhere else, or rather with Postman's installation. Also, it could be nice to add to the README what docklike-plugin requires to crate a shortcut correctly.
