What happens if you do:
Code:
`openfile '/home/user/MyDocs/.images/Sketch/Face.jpg'`

Now it does open the pic from xterm.
But the problem of the actual .desktop shortcut still exist.
It does not show up in the list of desktop shortcuts or widgets.
(even tried rebooting)
My file is named img.desktop (no other extension like .txt)
It is placed at: usr/share/applications/hildon
This is its content:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=0.13
Type=Application
Name=Image
Exec=openfile '/home/user/MyDocs/.images/Sketch/Face.jpg'
Icon=general_image

Another way to be sure it will work is using an existing .desktop as base
Try opening x-term and type
sudo gainroot
cd /usr/share/applications
cp image-viewer.desktop image.desktop
leafpad image.desktop
Then edit the file and remove all you don't need (comment, mime and all x-.... entries)

I tried another image and that one actually worked with desktop command widget.
But as far as shortcuts go, i still can't find any.
Are'nt they suppose to show up in the list for adding app shortcuts to the desktop?
Tnx alot btw for the assistance
