   It needs a desktop file.

   Start with one of your source ZIP files, a czkawka-master.ZIP, and   
   it is in the data folder.   
      
   czkawka-master/data/   
      com.github.qarmin.czkawka.desktop   716 bytes   
      
   I cleaned this up a tiny bit so it doesn't   
   get damaged in transit. You can find the   
   original in one of your source ZIP files.

   TryExec=czkawka_gui   
      
   That's the contents of a desktop file.   
      
   Now, examine some of the system desktop files, to   
   get more of the details to look the same. Like if   
   the path is an absolute path in a system desktop   
   file, you can set the TryExec as well. I don't know where   
   you unpacked the executable, so you'll have to adjust this.   
      
      TryExec=/home/felix/Downloads/czkawka_gui   
      
   It will likely take a few tries to tip that upright   
   and get that integrated.   
      
   If you had a Debian .deb for the program (even some other version),   
   that will likely have a Desktop file in it as well.
