This tool simplifies the task of generating valid .desktop files for your Unix system to effectively create desktop shortcuts that allow you to actually launch a script by simply double clicking an icon on your desktop. I created it so I could make shortcuts to scripts I had written to launch my games instead of having to open the terminal and manually launch my scripts every time I wanted to play a game.
