This is just a work around to continue the course for those that are having the same issue. Hopefully someone knows how to fix this correctly.
I was unable to get Designer Launcher to start from ‘designerlauncher.desktop’. It maybe am not setting it up right.
I did do some research and discovered a application that check the syntax of .desktop. It came back with many errors. I tried to correct the issue unsuccessfully, but did get it down to three errors.
Then i attempted to start it by going to the directory where ‘designerlauncher.sh’ exist and issue the command;
sh ./designerlauncher.sh
Designer Launcher started up but i got one warning/error, but seem to operate okay
./designerlauncher.sh: 4: Bad substitution
Right, wrong, or indifferent, i modified the designerlauncher.desktop as follows;

Name=Designer Launcher
Exec=java -jar /home/%user/ignition/designerlauncher/app/launcher-designer-linux.jar
Path=./
‘My Designers’ comes up and appear to work. I created a test project and start it and that seem to start correctly. But when i went to ‘My Designer’ and create a shortcut for the project, it writes the path incorrectly. If i correct the path the short cut works, and ‘Ignition Designer’ opens up, but does not open project without me clicking on it
