hello,
i have made couple of shortcuts, „[Desktop Entry]“, to my scripts in /home/pi.
if i run them from a pi terminal, scripts run fine and do their job.
but when i click on the desktop shortcut, i see it being selected but
it does not run.

here’s the desktop shorcut:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Mount myVault
Icon=/home/pi/m2p_desktop.jpg
Exec=lxterminal -t „Mounting myVault“ –working-directory=/home/pi/ -e ./mount-vault.sh
Encoding=UTF-8
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Categories=None;

anything wrong here?
thanks for any help…

Hi gchip,

The Max2Play desktop is really only intended for Jivelite and Kodi and not for actual mouse or keyboard control. Your shortcut is probably not allowed to be executed as user pi. Perhaps with sudo su, it might work. But generally we would recommend using HTTP requests or the like.

Hello!
I experienced the same problems. I created an Desktop file to open an application, but with left click it don´t works.
The File ist executable and works, I´m sure. Even if i create an Desktop-Link with rightclick on an application in the start menue, it is shown immediately on the desktop, but it don´t works with leftclick or enter.
The joke is, if you rightclick on the desktop icons an choose „Open“ the it works. Something is wrong with the leftclick action. It is not a matter of double click timing, i tried it already.
Please help! Thanks…

Is it possible that it hangs together with the settings in /etc/xdg/openbox/rc.xml?
I am not shure about the difference between „press“ and „click“ as action for a mousebind?
