Description: DEPENDENCY: icoutils (Source: https://github.com/rwmjones/icoutils). This service will extract the icon from a Windows executable file and create a *.desktop shortcut. Currently supports localization for 25 languages.
Yes, quite easily: on line 99 of the mkExeDesktopShortcut script, you can change the "$HOME/Desktop/$input_title.desktop" line to "$input_folder/$input_title.desktop" and the file will be placed there instead (just make sure the other two references to "$HOME/Desktop/$input_title.desktop" are also changed accordingly).
I might add this futurely as a second option, thank you for the suggestion

10 The very best I've found. Just click on the .exe, choose to create shortcut here or on the desktop, and it's done. Good job :).

Can this be adapted so it creates the shortcut in the folder the windows exe resides instead of on the desktop?
