How can I add an application in budgie menu?

Here is small guide/ code sample. I hope it helps.

First, specify the file name, like : my_app.desktop

The following code goes into the file:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=my_app
Comment=(what the app does)
Icon=/…/…/my_app.png (full path or generic name, like : firefox)
Exec=command to run the app (or full path)
Categories=Utility;

The file can go in this directory : /home/…/.local/share/applications
