Suggestion: .desktop file? #2

Hello!

I'm just checking this tool out - and so far it looks great!

I have a suggestion though: What about a .desktop file? Then it'll integrate with multiple Linux desktops.

Sorry to get back so late. Sure, why not. Would you volunteer for a PR?

Erm can do! I can create the .desktop file, but I'm unsure about tying it into QRedis itself.

For a global install, it should go in /usr/share/applications
For a local (per-user) install, it should go in ~/.local/share/applications

Is the QRedis icon committed to git anywhere? That would need to be included & moved to /usr/share/icons / ~/.local/share/icons in order to actually create the .desktop file.
