        I have tried to port Chromium to .click (I am not very experienced with clickable and coding in general) based on this repository. So far I have had no success in my own repo. Chromium only launches when I have Chromium already installed (right now it is installed through snap). I am trying this method of installing it in hope that I can get working OSK support just like this package. I want to avoid this package because when I installed it it was too slow and the scaling was incorrect. I already had tried chromium via snap, and it worked quite well (no OSK support though). Does anybody have any suggestions for how I can get this working? Also, would it be possible to get regular chrome working in this same method? I would like to have it so I can have my profiles and settings imported over for a better browsing experience.

          @thedeafenguy Your .desktop file references the script chromium.sh, but there is no such script in your click. There is a chromium-browser.sh, maybe you should try referencing that? Or else the chromium binary directly?

            @arubislander I changed the "chromium.sh" in the exec field to just "chromium". To my knowledge, I'm pretty sure I can just set a command in the Exec field, and the "chromium" command is another way to open chromium. However, upon opening the app from the launcher, nothing happens still.
