Okay, so I've created a (very ugly) desktop utility that uses GOG Galaxy's configuration DB to toggle some settings, including the ability to create the shortcut when using Verify / Repair.

It also includes a button to create the shortcut for you (asks for admin rights).

Disclaimer: I don't take any responsibility if this messes up your installation. Back-up the GOG Galaxy DB (it's located at C:\ProgramData\GOG.com\Galaxy\storage\galaxy-2.0.db), or better, your whole PC.

If you had GOG Galaxy add the shortcut to the desktop at installation but accidentally removed it, you can re-add the link by clicking Manage installation > Verify / Repair.

I would still very much like the ability to add a Desktop shortcut even if you didn't check that option when installing.

Unfortunately, the automatically created link results in the client being started. The link directly to the game exe (or launcher) is the link that you will find in the installation folder! You can simply copy this to the desktop.

Given that it's an option during installation, the inability to do so without *uninstalling and reinstalling* is frankly ridiculous. This isn't even adding a new feature; this is making an *existing* feature accessible via menu.

I too would like this, I had deleted the desktop short cuts thinking that the game would play with the expansion, it does not. To play the additional content of the expansion I need to go to additional executables and select the expansion.
The game does give the desktop short cut option on install. So I simply uninstalled and re-installed.

Just to follow up... in my case, the game shortcut in the game directory is not the same as the shortcut created on the desktop, so there isn't an easier way of creating the desktop shortcut as far as I can tell.

This is even more important now that Galaxy has cloud saves: click the icon, Galaxy opens, cloud saves sync, game launches. At present, only the game launches. If Galaxy is closed cloud saves will not sync.

Yeah, not having to dig through folders to add the icon for the game I'm currently playing would be nice.

I disable the icons because I don't like the clutter and constantly having to delete the icons every time a game updates, but I like to keep an icon for the game I'm in the middle of on my desktop.

Right now I have to hunt through and copy out the shortcut, sometimes I need to create a shortcut because not all games have a proper one.

I have added old games to the Galaxy client, sometimes taking them from my Steam folder (blech, I rebuy all my games that I once owned on Steam when they become available on GOG) and then adding it to Galaxy. For all games that are manually added to Galaxy, there is no option to add an icon.

Since manually adding games to Galaxy is a good time to maybe re-organize your game install directories without breaking the games, it seems like a perfect place to have an option to add icons, both Desktop and Start Menu.

The ability to have a shortcut added to the desktop during installation through the client is already an option in the settings. Even if you have this option disabled the client creates a shortcut. The client just places it in the game install folder. You can then manually copy it to the desktop later. A button (perhaps under the "more" option on the game page) that does this copy for you would be nice.
