Create a shortcut to Omniverse Create, instead of launching from the Launcher?

Omniverse Apps Create
#1

I would like to create a shortcut to Omniverse Create, instead of launching from the Launcher?

After launching Create, I noticed it was this exe-file below.
“C:\Users<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\ov\pkg\deps\f241940c69d96d94c37cc96bc2650d12\kit.exe”

But launching from this one looks different than when launching from the launcher.
Any suggestions?

hello @HaiderOfSweden -
There is a a way to to this, but the following are drawbacks:

  1. Each version of Create will install into a different path. Thus you will need to update shortcut on each new version. Unless you explicitly remove older versions of Create and then forget to update the shortcut, you will use the older version.
  2. Launcher has methods for detecting newer versions, news, updates. if you just start Create with shortcut you may miss useful information
  3. The Launcher method may in the future pass additional arguments or use a different initial startup script.

But assuming you are ok with above and are using default installation paths:

C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\ov\pkg\CREATEPKG\omni.create.sh

where YOURUSERNAME is like mirice
where CREATEPKG is like create-2021.3.7-rc.4
