Launch applications with optirun or primusrun directly from the Gnome desktop
Home Page: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/985/optirun/
License: MIT License
This GNOME extension adds an Optirun, a Primusrun and an Optiprime menu entries when right-clicking an application in the dash or in the activities overview.
Selecting it will launch the application with Bumblebee's optirun command or the primusrun command if it is installed, without having to open a terminal and do it manually. The Optiprime one is using an optiprime script bundled with the extension. It launches the application with vblank_mode=0 and Primusrun.
Hi,
I just made a new update to your extension, because I saw that someone made a sort of fork to integrate with the optiprime script (but overwriting the possibility of using primusrun normally). For the sake of completeness, I modified the Optirun extension like in the past, making it able to manage all the three choices (optirun, primusrun and optiprime). Please integrate my code in the master branch if you like it and the behind idea...
The optiprime script must be created in the /usr/bin folder (and it will be made executable), and it looks like the following:
#! /bin/sh
vblank_mode=0 primusrun "$@"
Thanks a lot

Here the new code:
const Lang = imports.lang;
const Shell = imports.gi.Shell;
const GLib = imports.gi.GLib;
const Main = imports.ui.main;
const PopupMenu = imports.ui.popupMenu;
const Util = imports.misc.util;
const extensionLocations = ["/usr", "~/.local"];
let Aim = imports.ui.appDisplay.AppIconMenu;
let origin;
let launcher_optiprime;
let launcher_primusrun;
let launcher_optirun;
function enable() {
origin = Aim.prototype._redisplay;
if (GLib.spawn_command_line_sync("which optiprime")[3] === 0) {
launcher_optiprime = "Optiprime";
}
if (GLib.spawn_command_line_sync("which primusrun")[3] === 0) {
launcher_primusrun = "Primusrun";
}
if (GLib.spawn_command_line_sync("which optirun")[3] === 0) {
launcher_optirun = "Optirun";
} else {
Main.notifyError("gnome-optirun", "Error: Bumblebee is not installed");
return;
}
Aim.prototype._redisplay = function () {
origin.call(this, arguments);
let i = 1;
if (launcher_optiprime) {
this._optiprime = new PopupMenu.PopupMenuItem(_(launcher_optiprime));
this.addMenuItem(this._optiprime, this._getMenuItems().indexOf(this._newWindowMenuItem) + i);
this._optiprime.connect("activate", Lang.bind(this, function () {
if (this._source.app.state == Shell.AppState.STOPPED) {
this._source.animateLaunch();
}
Util.spawnApp([launcher_optiprime.toLowerCase(), _getCommand(this._source.app.get_id())]);
this.emit('activate-window', null);
}));
++i;
}
if (launcher_primusrun) {
this._primusrun = new PopupMenu.PopupMenuItem(_(launcher_primusrun));
this.addMenuItem(this._primusrun, this._getMenuItems().indexOf(this._newWindowMenuItem) + i);
this._primusrun.connect("activate", Lang.bind(this, function () {
if (this._source.app.state == Shell.AppState.STOPPED) {
this._source.animateLaunch();
}
Util.spawnApp([launcher_primusrun.toLowerCase(), _getCommand(this._source.app.get_id())]);
this.emit('activate-window', null);
}));
++i;
}
if (launcher_optirun) {
this._optirun = new PopupMenu.PopupMenuItem(_(launcher_optirun));
this.addMenuItem(this._optirun, this._getMenuItems().indexOf(this._newWindowMenuItem) + i);
this._optirun.connect("activate", Lang.bind(this, function () {
if (this._source.app.state == Shell.AppState.STOPPED) {
this._source.animateLaunch();
}
Util.spawnApp([launcher_optirun.toLowerCase(), _getCommand(this._source.app.get_id())]);
this.emit('activate-window', null);
}));
}
}
}
function disable() {
Aim.prototype._redisplay = origin;
}
function _getCommand(file) {
for (let i in extensionLocations) {
try {
let content = GLib.file_get_contents(extensionLocations[i] + "/share/applications/" + file)[1];
let line = /Exec=.+/.exec(content)[0];
return line.substr(5);
} catch (error) {
log(error);
}
}
}
Some applications runs only with primusrun and other ones only using optirun: the solution... two launchers available at the same time...
I added a few lines of code to obtain my goal... so, I will share the modified file.
