in the Gnome desktop, I know how to create a desktop entry for a custom program. I also know how to pin it to my Favorites by right clicking and selecting Add to Favorites. I want to do that last step in silent mode, from a shell script as part of a larger automation process. Is this possible?

What are these favorites? Is it something from a graphical file browser? Which one?– terdon ♦Jul 18, 2020 at 17:20

Gnome desktop (not file browser), sorry for not clarifying, I specified the Gnome tag but not in the post. I'll update the post– Zachary TurnerJul 18, 2020 at 18:07

# Do a check
desktop-file-validate ${HOME}/.local/share/applications/*.desktop
# List apps pinned to dock
gsettings get org.gnome.shell favorite-apps
# Pin new list to dock after editing
gsettings set org.gnome.shell favorite-apps "['doublecmd.desktop', 'textadept.desktop', 'notherapp.desktop', 'okular.desktop']"
