So i'm using eOS, and i'm trying to create a .desktop file and add it to /usr/share/applications. It gets succesfully added, but it's not appearing in my Applications?

I've tried "sudo mv" and that didn't help. Not exactly whats going on here.

[Desktop Entry]
Value=1.0
Type=Application
Name=TeamSpeak
GenericName=TeamSpeak
Exec=/home/trent/Downloads/TeamSpeak3-Client-linux_amd64/ts3client_runscript.sh
Icon=/home/trent/Downloads/TeamSpeak3-Client-linux_amd64/icon.png
StartupNotify=true
Categories=Internet;

This is the code i'm saving as TeamSpeak3.desktop

Any help is appreciated, and yes all the paths are 100% correct.

I copied the text from a different file and used it and typed in my information. This works now! :)
