Add Applications Launcher to Plank

I followed your instructions & still wasn’t seeing the applications docklet, I then realised how much of a noob I was and quit and relaunched plank, waala the applications docklet appears, I would say the OP may have missed that step also.

Hey, just want to say thanks. I had the same problem on Bhodi Linux regarding no applications icon on Plank. I followed your instructions to the letter and ‘voila!’, the applications docklet appeared. You saved another linux noob from pulling his hair out. thanks.

Call me old school but I have had a Plank app launchers for several years. Here is what I do for launching mounts:

  1. Create a new folder named Mount-Drives in /home/user/.config/plank
  2. cd to /home/user/.config/plank/Mount-Drives and create a .desktop file such as:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Terminal=true
Icon=drive-removable-media
Name=Mount Backup Drive
Exec=sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sdc2 /backup
Name=BK-Launcher
Name[en_US]=Mount Backup Drive

  1. Mark the .desktop file executable.
  2. Drag and drop the folder, Mount-Drives, to the Plank dock.

You can execute a shell command with the Exec such as:
Exec=sh -c “cd /home/user/Python; ./test.sh”
