Re: Starting SWH3D 7.1 on Linux Mint

Is all of this necessary, is there a simpler way ?

Ask the guys who make the snap package for Mint.
If You read and follow the official linux install instructions from here and the few recommended links,
you could have something like this (mine) as desktop shortcut:

[Desktop Entry] 
Comment[en_US]= 
Comment= 
Exec=/home/nea-dorin/Sweet_Home_3D/SweetHome3D-7.1/SweetHome3D-nimbus
GenericName[en_US]=Home designer 
GenericName=Home designer 
Icon=/home/nea-dorin/Sweet_Home_3D/SweetHome3DIcon.png 
MimeType= 
Name[en_US]=Sweet Home 3D 
Name=Sweet Home 3D 
Path=/home/nea-dorin/Sweet_Home_3D 
StartupNotify=true 
Terminal=false 
TerminalOptions= 
Type=Application 
X-DBUS-ServiceName= 
X-DBUS-StartupType= 
X-KDE-SubstituteUID=false 
X-KDE-Username=

In this way you will avoid many other headaches.
