Icon on a shortcut

Comrades, Hello!
I can’t understand why I don’t create an icon for the app, I do everything according to the instructions https://github.com/probonopd/linuxdeployqt.

the directory I created:

/home/alex/Desktop/assibs
/home/alex/Desktop/assibs/lib
/home/alex/Desktop/assibs/bin/assibs (my app)
/home/alex/Desktop/assibs/share/applications/assibs.desktop
/home/alex/Desktop/assibs/share/icons/hicolor/128x128/apps/assibs.png

file contents assibs.desktop:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Qt App assibs
Comment=The best Qt Application Ever
Exec=assibs
Icon=assibs
Categories=Office;

a command to build:

Please consider submitting your AppImage to AppImageHub, the crowd-sourced
central directory of available AppImages, by opening a pull request
at GitHub - AppImage/appimage.github.io: Given an URL to an AppImage, the GitHub action in this project inspects the AppImage and puts it into a community-maintained catalog

after that, 3 shortcuts are created on the desktop, and the program itself, but the program without an icon. Can you tell me what’s wrong? why is there no icon :frowning: Sorry for the long text, I wanted to show you what’s going on. Thank you very much.

All actions take place on the Ubuntu 16.04.6 operating system

You need appimaged or AppImageLauncher if you want to see the icons on the program itself.

Thank you for your comment, unfortunately I couldn’t figure out what exactly I need. Please tell us a little more about AppImageLauncher, how to use it. Thanks.

It is all described at

and

and

just keep in mind that you can use only ONE of these. Pick the one you like. (My favorite is the first one.)
