ok, now i know the filename.  
so you make your bash file

> nano /home/pi/.config/autostart/start\_processing

with this content:

```auto
#!/bin/bash
# /home/pi/.config/autostart/start_processing
# this will not do anything unless called by a .desktop file

echo '10s'
env sleep 5
echo '5s'
env sleep 5
#...

cd /home/pi/Desktop/application.linux-armv6hf/
bash combine_horizontal_and_vertical

# wait for operator to close window
read -p "press enter to close terminal window"

```

make it executable

```auto
chmod +x /home/pi/.config/autostart/start_processing

```

and test it

* * *

if the test works you can test the desktop file

> /home/pi/.config/autostart/myautostart.desktop

also with double click
