Clear Desktop Indicator: cleaning your desktop has never been so easy

Create Desktop Indicator

When some users, such as a server, are doing any editing job of any kind where they need multiple files to work with, they fill the desktop with icons of all kinds. Personally, I do not like having icons on the desktop, but I recognize that it is the location that leaves us with anything more at hand. If what you want is to use the desktop to do any work, clean it quickly and access its content again without having to take many steps, what you are looking for is called Clear Desktop Indicator.

What is Clear Desktop Indicator? Its name does not give rise to surprises. Is about un applet or indicator that will allow us to clean the desktop, which will be two clicks away: the first we will have to do on the applet, while with the second click we will delete all the files from the desktop of our Debian-based operating system. To speak properly, what we will do with the second click is to move all these files to the new folder that will be created in our personal folder with the name of Files-From-Desktop. Inside this folder there will be others whose name will be the date of its creation.

Clear Desktop Indicator will move all the files on your desktop to a new folder

Like the only thing this little one does applet is to move the files, if we want them to return to the desktop we will have to do it manually. It is clear that I would have liked more if, once the files were moved, the indicator changed its main option to something that allows us to return the files to their original location, but that is not possible, at least in the current version.

If you are interested in installing this applet, all you have to do is follow these steps:

  1. We download the software .deb package from THIS LINK.
  2. We install the .deb package downloaded in the previous step. To do this, just double-click on it, which will open the installer for your distribution (Ubuntu software in the standard version), and then click on "Install".
  3. If once installed you cannot see anything, it is normal. For it to work we will have to restart the computer.

Have you already tried it? What do you think of this applet?
