Adding .sh launchables to the panel

[talman]

Hey, I just installed Mint and I would like to add some .sh fiels for my quick launch panel, but it won't let me drag and drop them there or have a menu option for adding them to the panel, for instance i could just drag the firefox app to the panel and it will create a launcher but studio.sh for android studio just doesn't stick there, the same for sublime text ...

thanks!
