You will have to create the qtVlm file yourself using a text editor such as "nano".
The file should contain text something like this:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=QtVlm
Path=/home/agc/Downloads/QtVlm/qtVlm/ << path to where your qtVlm executable is located
Exec=/home/agc/Downloads/QtVlm/qtVlm/qtVlm << your qtVlm executable
Icon=/home/agc/Downloads/QtVlm/qtVlm/icon/qtVlm.ico << location of a suitable icon
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Categories=Accessories;
Then make the text file executable using the chmod command
chmod +x <<your .desktop file>>
or right-click in File Manager, or on the desktop, select Properties, Permissions and check "Allow executing file as a program".
I had exactly the same problem just a few hours ago in Linux Mint!

For rapsberry pi5 in the tar.gz you should find 3 files :
- qtVlm.sh
- instructions_for_launcher_rpi.txt
- qtVlm.desktop
I've just double checked and latest version (qtVlm-5.12.17-p3-rpi5_64.tar.gz) is ok
Anyway this is not bulletproof and the way to document the file might differ from one linux to another one
