Where is the desktop shortcut?

[danielsjob]

I have just had to update the hub and the desktop shortcut disappeared even a reinstall does not give it back. I now have no way of opening the thing since windows does not find it either when I search for Navigraph hub. Clearly it seems there when it opens after the install but how am I expected to open it if I can’t have any shortcuts?

Could you at least give the default install path to the executable so that I can create my own link? Sorry but his is VERY annoying…

Hi! Welcome back to the forum.

The latest update indeed changed the behavior to not automatically install a desktop shortcut. It should still be available when searching though, it’s a bit odd that it is not available to you…

This topic is already covered in existing topics, and the opinions are divided. Here are two examples:

Hub is too intrusive after an update

Whenever Hub updates it puts a shortcut on my desktop (which I keep clear) and defaults to launching at computer startup. I run Hub whenever there’s an AIRAC update, so roughly once a month. I don’t need a shortcut on my desktop and I certainly don’t need it to start every time my PC starts. Would you please consider reversing these behaviours?

Navigraph Hub Desktop Shortcut

For future updates to the Navigraph Hub, can there be an installation option available to add a shortcut to the desktop? I find this is the only easy way for me to access the Navigraph Hub software any time I want to check for AIRAC updates. Today I was forced to run an update to the Navigraph Hub which made the desktop shortcut disappear. Downloading and reinstalling via the Navigraph website does not make the desktop shortcut return for me.

We’ll consider making this optional in some way so that you can pick what you prefer yourself in a future update! In the meantime, you can find the executable here:

%localappdata%\Programs\navigraph-hub

Kind Regards,
Malte

Hi, I saw that my last post was referenced here so I thought this would be the best place to bring this up…

I checked my computer for the folder where it was indicated the executable could be found, and the folder was empty. I do not remember uninstalling the program; I had to redownload and reinstall Navigraph Hub for the executable and supporting files to appear. Still no desktop shortcut.

Hi Jose,

After installation, as a workaround, you should be able to create the desktop shortcut to

%localappdata%\Programs\navigraph-hub
