Prevent Desktop Entry from being shown on Desktop
I want to have a desktop entry without it being actually shown on the desktop. Is that possible? The .desktop file is located at /usr/share/applications. Can I add some key to do this?
Why? I want to make a script visible to the Situation application. Since I don’t plan on using it manually, it’s unnecessary to view it on the application screen.
Background: It’s about the battery charging limitation script provided here by LVPVS.

Beware: If the lineNoDisplay=true is added to the file, the Situations app won’t execute the script either. The question is now, whether it is still possible to hide the desktop file from being shown on the launcher while still being executable by the Situations app.
