Option to add desktop icon at any time
Added by
Amhran You get the option to create a desktop icon when you install games but there does not seem to be an easy way to do it later. This is not much of a problem with more modern games where you can simply link to some exe but when dosbox is running the game it can be hard for people to create a desktop launch icon.
MikeBeer It would also be nice to be able to *remove* the desktop icon, for instance, if I've finished the game. If I delete the shortcut and galaxy updates the game, the shortcut returns.
giftederic Please add this functionality
Lennysaurus Just add this already. Crazy that we cant do this
BloodyRain2k Why is this not a thing? The whole 2.0 Update is a bit meh to me when simple things like this or a manual way to sync my saves aren't even added yet <.<

Shyrka I agree. Forgot to check the "Create desktop shortcut" option on install and now I can only launch the game opening GOG Galaxy app.
Syniurge What a silly oversight. So now that I forgot to tick the box before install I have to uninstall and redownload to get a proper shortcut?
Elat99 such a basic functionality should be a given, dissapointed!
Storekeeper I also agree. The option to create a desktop icon at the beginning of the install process does not work on some games for me. Please have the option to created desktop icon at any time.
Karasman Totally agree. Even with the modern games. I was replacing my old SSD with newer one, I moved back Witcher 3 folder to it, installed Galaxy amd all is working, but no way to create the bloody icon on the desktop.
