To create desktop launcher:-

If you want to Create desktop launcher right click on the desktop and choose Create Launcher.

Under Name, type processing.

Under Command, type 'path to processing script "processing"'

Enter Comment

Finally Click OK.

You can use this to create any type of launcher, I prefer to add processing to launcher menu.  I believe instructions are available under Ubuntu help.

Hello Martin,

I did as you advised and got this error:

Code:
There was an error creating a child process for this Terminal.

Just brainstorming, but I think this might be the result of leaving the newly created icon on the desktop and not in the directory where the script is located.  Anyway, I really appreciate your help, I just got started with Ubuntu so please forgive me. I picked up 2 awesome books on it, one on Linux and one specifically on Ubuntu, and haven't gotten to the subject matter that you just described.

Best Regards,

Nevins
