Bug Description
When creating an entry from a custom command, the .desktop file created by this plug isn't able to launch the command.
Doing the same from the Gnome plug creates a working .desktop file.
The resulting .desktop files are slightly different. Here is an example for pantheon-files:
Created with this plug: pastebin.
Created with Gnome's plug: http://
The fields that weren't automatic were the command, and in Gnome's plug, the name of the entry ("Files").
Trying to execute those .desktop files from the directory they were created (~/.config/
