Upgrade StorageProblem with Capitalization in Linux Installation Instructions
Hi,
I am running Zotero on Linux Mint just fine for quite a while now. However, I recently helped set up Linux Mint with Zotero for a colleague, and he had some struggle following the installation instructions provided at https://www.zotero.org/support/installation. There it states that
"3. Symlink zotero.desktop into ~/.local/share/applications/ (e.g., ln -s /opt/zotero/zotero.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/zotero.desktop)"
When I have a look into the .tar, there is indeed "zotero.desktop", however after unpacking, it is called "Zotero.desktop". I don't know if this is a peculiarity of Linux Mint, but this caused some struggle, because using the provided instruction which presupposes "zotero.desktop" instead of "Zotero.desktop" does not work at all. So we needed to change the command to "ln -s /opt/zotero/Zotero.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/Zotero.desktop".
Also, it would be great to be reminded to replace the "/opt/zotero/" part with the actual path one extracted Zotero to, maybe by adding "if your extracted Zotero to /opt/zotero/" to the "e.g." part
