Some help with menu edit!
Hello I have some problem making shortcuts for 2 games to my Application/games menu.
The menu you can edit by writing "alacarte" in the terminal.
So this is how I do, I have 1 game, its a Linux client of the game Tibia, ive unpacked it and its in a folder inside my home folder. If I double click on either Tibia or StartTibia.sh the game starts without any trouble, but if I open alacarte and browse to that location and choose either Tibia or StartTibia.sh and then click on the new item in the Game menu nothing opens...
Here is the location I browse to:
/home/som99/Spel/Tibia/StartTibia.sh
I can't figure out how to do this any help would be appriciated!
The next problem is with a windows game instaleld with wine, if i drag the excisting shortcut file to the panelbar I get the icon there and can just click it and start it without any trouble, but I want it to be inside the applications/games menu. So I go to the alacarte editor and browse to the main directory of the file inside /home/som99/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/gamename/game.exe and press ok but when I try to start it it asks for its main files located at Z:\home\som99 the funny thing is that it starts if I move all files inside the games main folder to \home without putting them in any folder :/
So I tryed to write the following as is written in the working shortcut in wine:
wine "C:\Program Files\Tibia\game.exe" and I get the same error as it somehow think that the locations is home\som99 :S
Also adding in propeties of the new shortcut item teh following:
"/home/som99/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/game" wine game.exe
I get this error while trying to start it:
Failed to execute child process "/home/som99/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/game" (Permission denied)
I have put permission on the folders but same result
Anyone know how to fix any of these 2 problems and I would be forever in debt!
As I am going to make alot of shortcuts to many programs both trough wine and games ive unpacked I would like to know how to do this.
I might add that if I open the terminal and write:
cd /home/som99/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/game
to get to the folder then writes:
wine game.exe
Then the game starts without any trouble :S
I can't seem to figure this one out :/
Please help me!

Check StartTibia.sh permissions. It should be executable in order to run.
should be show somes "x" like drwxr-xr-x. If it is like -rw-r--r-- (without any x) than you must change the permission.Code:ls -la
You can also do it by right clicking the file in the file manager.
