Create an app launcher for Whatsapp Desktop on Manjaro XFCE

[Furikao]

Hello there, I have made a couple of mistakes installing and uninstalling apps for WhatsApp. After uninstalling on the XFCE launcher editor popup a message of non active apps launchers, so i delete it…
Now, im installing again one of the app for Whatsapp, and dont create me the shortcut at the XFCE Menu… trying to set a new shortcut but i can not finde where is it, anda what is the command order.

I can run it, from the add software program… but cant find where is the app.

Could someone help me with the command line for the app?

Thanks

I presume Whatsapp came from the AUR. You could try building another version, instead. I have found the following possibilities:

• whatsapp-linux-desktop
• whatsapp-linux-desktop-bin

Otherwise, it seems like it might be a packaging issue. I suggest contacting the package maintainer. A reminder that use of the AUR is unsupported on Manjaro (or Arch). For those who absolutely must use a package from the AUR, switching to the Unstable branch is usually recommended.

No, this is a snap. There is no such aur package. Sorry, i am not familiar with snaps, i avoid them like plague

Anyways, why don’t you just use the webapp? Seems this snap is nothing more anyway.

Well, there are the ones I’ve linked to.

Thanks for the replies, i wil answer myself…
i was trying to find the executable file or bin, but didnt get it. Searchin through File Explorer Thunar didnt get it… or that was what I thought.
Thunar dont show nothing, so i get myself to this forum… but when i go back to close the window, there was a lot of files and folders for my search…

And I found what i was searchin for, the folder where was the binary.
Finally i could create the launcher for the app.

I will not delete the post, so, if somebody get similar problem could try this to solve the problem.

Thanks folks

Regards.
