Continuing the discussion from Getting Icewind Dale Enhanced Edition to play in Fedora:
When I installed Icewind Dale it wanted to install in a path with a lot of spaces and capital letters, and I just hate that. So I opted for ~/games/icewind-date
.
Did you notice that? Yep, I misspelled it. Icewind Date… which if we are honest, is exactly what it is!
Anyhow, I corrected the path, but of course that broke the cool icon and menu item it installed. I couldn’t find it at first, and even installed menulibre
to edit the item, but that couldn’t find it, either. I figured this was an XDG thing, so poking around found it in ~/.local/share/applications
, called gog_com-Icewind_Dale_Enhanced_Edition_1.desktop
:

I had to change the path in a few places, but now it works again!
