Re: [Squirrel-sql-users] No Desktop short cut created///difficult to launch squirrel

[Robert M. <rob...@gm...>]

The last screen of the installer gives you a checkbox to create an
icon on the desktop.  If you grabbed a plain zip archive (no
installer), then you can simply create a custom launcher that uses
/usr/local/SQuirreL_SQL_Client/squirrel-sql.sh
as the command.
