Desktop Files
- An application item in the application menu is represented by a *.desktop
- file. A *.desktop file consists of a [Desktop Entry] header followed by
- several Key=Value lines.
-
- A *.desktop file can provide a name and description for an application in
- several different languages. This is done by adding a language code as
- used by LC_MESSAGES in square brackets behind the Key. This way one can
- specify different values for the same Key depending on the currently
- selected language.
-
- The following keys are often used:
-
- Value=1.0
- This is a mandatory field to indicate that the *.desktop file
- follows the 1.0 version of the specification.
-
- Type=Application
- This is a mandatory field that indicates that the *.desktop file
- describes an application launcher.
-
- Name=Application Name
- The name of the application. For example Mozilla
-
- GenericName=Generic Name
- A generic description of the application. For example Web Browser
-
- Comment=Comment
- Optional field to specify a tooltip for the application. For
- example Visit websites on the Internet
-
- Icon=Icon File
- The icon to use for the application. This can either be an
- absolute path to an image file or an icon-name. If an icon-name is
- provided an image lookup by name is done in the user's current
- icon theme. The xdg-icon-resource command can be used to install
- image files into icon themes. The advantage of using an icon-name
- instead of an absolute path is that with an icon-name the
- application icon can be provided in several different sizes as
- well as in several differently themed styles.
-
- Exec=Command Line
- The command line to start the application. If the application can
- open files the %f placeholder should be specified. When a file is
- dropped on the application launcher the %f is replaced with the
- file path of the dropped file. If multiple files can be specified
- on the command line the %F placeholder should be used instead of
- %f. If the application is able to open URLs in addition to local
- files then %u or %U can be used instead of %f or %F.
-
- Categories=Categories
- A list of categories separated by semi-colons. A category is a
- keyword that describes and classifies the application. By default
- applications are organized in the application menu based on
- category. The XDG Desktop Menu Specification defines a large
- number of predefined categories.
-
- MimeType=Mimetypes
- A list of mimetypes separated by semi-colons. This field is used
- to indicate which file types the application is able to open.
