Question

I’ve written a program that uses the .Net framework, the Qt framework, and the Qwt framework.

I read that to make a shortcut on the desktop, you right-click on the Primary Output thing in the main window pane, and you select Create-Shortcut. This doesn’t appear to be an option for me. If I right-click on the white bit of the pane, I can create a shortcut, however, I can’t really seem to link that shortcut to the output.

The last image shows that in my application folder, the primary output is not there. If I go to add it, it adds it to far left pane (solution explorer) and I end up with two there, but it still doesn’t show up as an option for the shortcut.

Thanks for you time.

I was having the same issue, just ran across this blog post which worked for me:

In my case it was an extra slash in the output filename, as the author mentions.
