   The OP appears to be on LMDE7. An older version of czkawka   
   is in Synaptic already, it uses a .deb, the .deb includes the .desktop   
   in /usr/share/applications (the system desktop file store).

   The OP is now using a more recent version of czkawka (Version 10), which is   
   delivered as an ELF portable (a single file, not a tarball or anything).   
      
      linux_czkawka_gui_x86_64   <=== a 50MB executable kind of thing   
      
   This will need a .desktop crafted and stored in the "personal" homedir.   
      
   It requires using the tool to create a menu item, but putting the proper   
   location in the TryExec.

   Whereas the OP is using the portable ELF downloaded from the site   
      
      linux_czkawka_gui_x86_64   
      
   The Name for this one, might need to be set to "Czkawka10"   
   to make it easier to see in the menu.   
      
   Felix needs to copy/paste the contents of this new file he has created, so we   
   can look at it.   
   It's hard to say what the filename will be, but it will have the word "czkawka"   
   in it. A launcher with a name of "Czkawka10" could be crafted from the   
   Menu thing, to help distinguish the two launchers from one another.   
   The Synaptic "czkawka" is already in the menu, but Felix has the   
   portable ELF version (version 10) to play with and that needs   
   a separate and unique launcher, to keep the two separated.   
   Once a "czkawka10" launcher is made, this one can be removed (because   
   it will attempt to override the one in /usr/share/applications).   
      
       /home/peter/.local/share/applications/czkawka.desktop   ???   
      
   These would be examples of fields I might put in the launcher.   
      
      Name=Czkawka10   
      
      TryExec=/home/peter/LINUX/packages/linux_czkawka_gui_x86_64   <=== pointer   
   to large ELF portable   
      
   The linux_czkawka_gui_x86_64 is set via chmod 755 linux_czkawka_gui_x86_64 .
