    Wait, I misread your question. I am pretty sure however here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/524576/how-can-i-add-folder-shortcuts-to-the-unity-launcher you'll find a solution to the directory part. – Jacob Vlijm May 18 '16 at 17:54
  • Adding it to Dash is the same as creating extra .desktop files. Dash is populated with .desktop files. You should not create multiple desktop files, calling the same application in their main command. Ubuntu has different solutions to reach multiple directory without overpopulating the Unity Launcher, mentioned in the link. In that sense, the link answers your question. – Jacob Vlijm May 18 '16 at 17:57
  • this not solve the problem i can search automatically on dash and it will get the folder or app instead of making it – Mohamed Slama May 18 '16 at 18:01
  • Apps are in Dash, unless you installed them locally without a .desktop file, no need to make them, and you can search them. – Jacob Vlijm May 18 '16 at 18:03
  • after searching the solution is to create my custom scope :\ – Mohamed Slama May 19 '16 at 14:38
