how to add a chromium browser shortcut to desktop

Question

I'd like to add a browser shortcut to the Raspberry desktop, have followed an old post (https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=22235) which suggests creating a text file such as below

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Link
Name=Raspberry Pi website
Comment=The infamous Raspberry Pi computer
Icon=/home/pi/raspberrypi.jpg
URL=http://www.raspberrypi.org

I've done this, but when clicking the textfile just the textfile itself opens. Suggestions welcome.

Answer 1

Issue resolved after adding an icon graphic... just creating an empty file with .jpg extension was sufficient.
