pCloud and Autostart

Budgie Applets

Hi Guys,

I recently installed pCloud.
It shows up fine in my file manager and if I click the App Image, it starts and shows the applet in the sys tray.

Is there any way I can get to this stage automatically. I have tried to add pCloud to autostart, but it is not listed.

Kind Regards
Nick

You should create a launcher for your AppImage in ~/.local/share/applications

A launcher is an executable text file ( a .desktop file ) which could look like :

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=pCloud
GenericName=pCloud
Comment=pCloud online storage
Exec=/path_to/AppImage/pCloud
Icon=/path_to/icon/pCloud
Terminal=false
Categories=Internet;
StartupNotify=true

I think once there is a .desktop file launcher for an app, it appears in the autostart list.

Thank you, Coeur-Noir.

I’ll give it a go.
