Not a feature request, more an aid to Linux users.
Since I'm experimenting with Kubuntu 20.04 for gaming I made a .desktop file to have Irony show in the KDE application menu under the Games category.
Create a file under (for Kubuntu atleast) ~/.local/share/applications for example IronyModManager.desktop
Add the following to it:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Irony Mod Manager
Comment=Mod manager for Stellaris and other Paradox Clausewitz games.
Exec=~/.local/irony-mod-manager/IronyModManager
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Game;
Change the Exec path to where you unzipped Irony, but keept the IronyModManager as is.
If you have an icon file you want to use for it just add a line as follows
Icon=/path/to/icon-file
Save the file and it'll show up on your DE's app launcher menu under the games category.
Hope this is useful to Linux folks.
