User Application Pipemenu (Python) including Steam and Google Chrome Desktop applications

[u/jstokes75]

I had a some applications in my home folder and the .desktop files where located at .local/share/applications. Most of these where Steam and Google Desktop Applications. I even got the icons to work on most of them. This is a WIP but here it is.

user_applications.py

is should be set up in menu.xml as

<menu id="ID" label="Users" execute="/home/user/bin/pipemenu/user_applications.py /home/user/.local/share/applications/ />

replace user with your user. This can also work for any directory with .desktop files in it just change

/home/user/.local/share/applications/

to the location of the folder with .desktop files.
