Why can't I launch applications from MenuLibre and can from terminal? - Roy - 07-31-2018

Hello
I am trying to launch an application from a shell script (was provided with the app) and it works flawlessly
When I tried to add this as a launcher in MenuLibre, it won't launch and won't say anything..

I'm guessing it's related to the user or group but I'm not sure..
The app is AwesomeBump

The script content is:
Code:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd`
export QT_QPA_PLATFORM_PLUGIN_PATH=`pwd`
./AwesomeBump

And 'AwesomeBump' is a binary that actually runs the program..

Works like an add on. Launches to a working directory only.

Changed the working directory to the path where AB was installed and now it works
