Postman Shortcut for Ubuntu.md

The new postman native app for linux is great! On Ubuntu though, it doesn't create any symbolic links to your app — I link to launch all my apps via Synapse, the simple but powerful application launcher. Follow these short steps to launch your Postman instance via Synapse/any other application launcher:

Copy the app directory to a folder of your choice
Download the image from here and place it in the same folder.
Create a *.desktop file in /home/username/.local/share/applications/postman.desktop
Copy paste the contents:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Name=Postman
Comment=Postman Native App
Exec=/home/lucasferreira/Postman/app/Postman — %u
Icon=/home/lucasferreira/Postman/app/resources/app/assets/icon.png
Terminal=false
StartupWMClass=postman
Type=Application
Categories=Network;
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/tg;
X-Desktop-File-Install-Version=0.22

Save the file and you are done!

To run

gtk-launch /home/username/.local/share/applications/postman.desktop
