When I create an application shortcut on my desktop from one of my LiberKey apps, it works fine. When I close LiberKey it goes away, great. I re-open LiberKey and back it comes.

My problem is that if I delete the shortcut, it keeps coming back. I delete it, continue my LiberKey session, eventually close LiberKey. Next time I start LiberKey up again, the shortcut is back.

How do I delete shortcuts?

Remove the shortcut and choose Liberkey Tools -> Remove Liberkey shortcuts
Then choose Liberkey Tools -> Add Liberkey shortcuts

Thank you very much sir!

i suggest you to do not update gimp and other large apps (chrome, firefox, libreoffice...) so often, because they often crash after that, at least fo me and for others that ask for help here.

if you continue to need for that update, then, before doing that, make a backup of app folder (like copying gimp app folder, app/gimp, to myapps folder).
