Add Unity to favorites bar (/dock) on Ubuntu 18?

When an application is launched on Ubuntu 18, if you right click its icon in the dock, there will be an option to "add to favorites". i.e. keep it in the dock.

Unity does not display this option when it is running.

Does anyone know how to pin it to the dock?
I'm not looking for a launcher, as that would show two unity icons in the dock (one for launching unity, and another when it is launched).

Thank you

 

Launcher as in .desktop entry?

 

i too would like a .desktop

 

You can write one yourself, it's not that hard, here's an example:

Code (text):

1. [Desktop Entry]
2. Name=Unity3D
3. Comment=Unity3D Editor
4. Exec=<path to unity editor executable>
5. Terminal=false
6. Type=Application
7. Categories=Application;Development;Graphics;IDE;
8. Icon=<path to unity3d icon>

Fill the missing information as you please (the ones in angle brackets). Save the file as e.g. unity3d.desktop and place it here:

/usr/share/applications/unity3d.desktop

That's great! Thanks for the help, I wasn't aware they were just text files :3

 

Awesome...Thanks
