I think it's easier to
- open Intelli J
- Click on "Tools"
- Click on "Create Desktop Entry..."
... and be done.

thank you

Yeah, the instructions say Open IntelliJ, click Tools, then click "Create Desktop Entry." What it DOESN'T say is between step 1 and 2 you have to open a project. The issue is there is a Tools object on the launch screen, but you need the Tools MENU. @8FN you are the man.
Thanks!! work perfectly!
