I would like to add Ipython qtconsole (for Python3) to the application launcher in the bottom panel at the KDE plasma desktop. I currently have three applications in the launcher:
- chromium browser
- Ipython qtconsole (Python2)
- konsole
Se below screen shot:
The problem is that I cannot remember how I added these applications in the first place. Now I would like to add Ipython qtconsole. If I right-click on the konsole icon in the laucher it pops up a menu with to items Icon settings and Panel options, but none of these sub menues allows me to modify the application launcher.
(The path to Ipython qtconsole is /usr/bin/ipython3.)

The KDE 4 default launcher
As default the KDE 4 is using the Kickoff: https://userbase.kde.org/Plasma/Kickoff

Launcher button to the Panel - two ways
1) Right click the application in the KDE Menu (default application launcher) > Add to Panel.
Note ! Unlock the Widgets to get the 'Add to' options.
2) or right click the task manager application icon (in this Konsole icon) > Show A Launcher When not Running
If the application is not in KDE Menu
Right click the KDE Menu button > Edit Applications
Add the application to the KDE menu.
