You mean I can have symbolic links to where the executable resides?


say you have launchpath=/usr/gem:

cd /usr/gem
ln -s <full-path-to-the app> <app-name>

Then you can start it from there, it will think it was started from itsoriginal path.

Basically have a folder that only has icons of the executables in it?


The links.

Sorry,
but i never used symlinks... :/


And I nearly never a desktop ...
