The new postman native app for linux is great!

On Ubuntu though, it doesn’t create any symbolic links to your app — I link to launch all my apps via Synapse, the simple but powerful application launcher.

Follow these short steps to launch your Postman instance via Synapse/any other application launcher:

  1. Copy the app directory to a folder of your choice
  2. Download the image from here and place it in the same folder.
  3. Create a *.desktop file in your /home/username/.local/share/applications/ folder.
  4. Copy paste the contents:
    [Desktop Entry]
    Encoding=UTF-8
    Version=1.0
    Name=Postman
    Comment=Postman Native App
    Exec=/home/username/Documents/Postman/Postman — %u
    Icon=/home/username/Documents/Postman/glyph.png
    Terminal=false
    StartupWMClass=postman
    Type=Application
    Categories=Network;
    MimeType=x-scheme-handler/tg;
    X-Desktop-File-Install-Version=0.22
  5. Save the file and you are done!
