   You are on LMDE7.   
      
   The program is in Synaptic. You installed it from there.   
      
   That gives a desktop file you can use as an example.   
      
   You may want to create a separate desktop file that   
   points to your portable executable in /home/felix/Downloads/czkawka_gui   
      
   That means the TryExec will need to be changed. I don't know how rigidly   
   enforced the rules are about filenames and what they launch. (Whether   
   you could have a "czkawka10" kind of file, with its own separate   
   TryExec and so on.
