Launch ExpertSDR2 from a shortcut in Ubuntu

So, i'm running Ubuntu 20.10 and have installed ExpertSDR2. It runs fabulous!

But to start ExpertSDR2 i have to go into terminal and navigate into the folder where ExpertSDR2 is installed. In my case that's ~/SunSDR2. There i have to enter the command ./ExpertSDR2.sh to launch. 

Now i would rather have an icon in my launcher that i can also add to my favorites. And the good news is; That's actually pretty simple. We just would need to install a small program to create menu items. This is even useful to create other shortcuts.

Here are the steps for that.

1. Open a terminal and type the following command to install the gnome panel:

  $ sudo apt install gnome-panel

2. When that's finished exit out of Terminal and open the launcher and start "Main menu" 

3. In the Main menu program click on "New Item" 

4. Give it a name and click "Browse". 

5. Find the ExpertSDR2.sh file and select it.

6. If you want you can click on the Icon and select a different one.

You can use this one if you like.

7. Click "OK" to save the properties.

8. Close the Main menu app and you're ready!
