I have a custom .desktop file:

Terminal=false
Icon[en_US]=/home/alex/bin/idea-IC-173.4127.27/bin/idea.png
Name[en_US]=IntelliJ

Output of ls -lha .local/share/applications/intellij.desktop:

-rwx--x--x 1 alex alex 248 Dez 30 10:54 .local/share/applications/intellij.desktop

I can find this launcher in Activities and I can double click on that file and IntelliJ will start. Nevertheless, I cannot add this launcher as a favorite to the dock. The option does not show up.

Answers posted to a previous question (Can't add Custom .desktop files to dock 17.10) don't work for me.

Open Terminal and run

gsettings get org.gnome.shell favorite-apps

You should get the list of .desktop files associated to the apps pinned to Ubuntu dock in order, something like the following:

['appname-1.desktop', 'appname-2.desktop', 'appname-3.desktop', 'appname-4.desktop', 'appname-5.desktop']

Suppose you want to pin the app associated to the intellij.desktop file as the second item in the dock. In that case, run

gsettings set org.gnome.shell favorite-apps "['appname-1.desktop', 'intellij.desktop', 'appname-2.desktop', 'appname-3.desktop', 'appname-4.desktop', 'appname-5.desktop']"

  It may be more user-friendly to put it this way: wherever you put a .desktop file, make it executable and trustable when clicking to open it, then right-click on the icon in the dock and add to the favourites.

The answer from @pomsky is correct, but there is an easier way: use

dconf-editor 

(install it with sudo apt-get install dconf-editor if not installed) and navigate to

org/gnome/shell/favorite-apps.

There it is possible to edit and rearrange the Launcher.

The Dash-to-Dock extension for gnome3 allows adding the program to your favourites from the context menu.

1. Install the latest version of Dash-To-Dock
   


2. Start the application from command line


3. Right click the application on the dock and select "Add to favourites"


4. Close the application and launch it from the dock

Worked for me with PyCharm Pro.
