- The xdg-desktop-icon program can be used to install an application launcher
- or other file on the desktop of the current user.
- </p><p>
- An application launcher is represented by a *.desktop file.
- Desktop files are defined by the freedesktop.org Desktop Entry
- Specification. The most important aspects of *.desktop files
- are summarized below.

- Normally, xdg-desktop-icon checks to ensure that a *.desktop file

- </p><p class="simpara">
- A vendor prefix consists of alpha characters ([a-zA-Z]) and is
- terminated with a dash ("-").
- Companies and organizations are encouraged to use a word
- or phrase, preferably the organizations name, for which they hold
- a trademark as their vendor prefix.
- The purpose of the vendor prefix is to prevent name conflicts.

- An application launcher can be added to the desktop by installing a
- *.desktop file. A *.desktop file consists of a
- <span class="emphasis"><em>[Desktop Entry]</em></span> header followed by several
- <em class="replaceable"><code>Key</code></em>=<em class="replaceable"><code>Value</code></em> lines.
- </p><p>
- 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
- <em class="replaceable"><code>Key</code></em>. This way one can specify different
- values for the same <em class="replaceable"><code>Key</code></em> depending on the
- currently selected language.
- </p><p>
- The following keys are often used:
- </p><div class="variablelist"><dl><dt><span class="term">Value=1.0</span></dt><dd>
- This is a mandatory field to indicate that the *.desktop file
- follows the 1.0 version of the specification.
- </dd><dt><span class="term">Type=Application</span></dt><dd>
- This is a mandatory field that indicates that the *.desktop file
- describes an application launcher.
- </dd><dt><span class="term">Name=<em class="replaceable"><code>Application Name</code></em></span></dt><dd>
- The name of the application.
- For example <span class="emphasis"><em>Mozilla</em></span>
- </dd><dt><span class="term">GenericName=<em class="replaceable"><code>Generic Name</code></em></span></dt><dd>
- A generic description of the application.
- For example <span class="emphasis"><em>Web Browser</em></span>
- </dd><dt><span class="term">Comment=<em class="replaceable"><code>Comment</code></em></span></dt><dd>
- Optional field to specify a tooltip for the application.
- For example <span class="emphasis"><em>Visit websites on the Internet</em></span>
- </dd><dt><span class="term">Icon=<em class="replaceable"><code>Icon File</code></em></span></dt><dd>
- 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 <span class="command"><strong>xdg-icon-resource</strong></span>
- 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.
- </dd><dt><span class="term">Exec=<em class="replaceable"><code>Command Line</code></em></span></dt><dd>
- 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.

- The company ShinyThings Inc. has developed an application named
- "WebMirror" and would like to add a launcher for for on the desktop.
- The company will use "shinythings" as its vendor id.
- In order to add the application to the desktop there needs to be a
- .desktop file for the application:
-</p><pre class="programlisting">
-shinythings-webmirror.desktop:
-
- [Desktop Entry]
- Encoding=UTF-8
- Type=Application
-
- Exec=webmirror
- Icon=shinythings-webmirror
-
- Name=WebMirror
- Name[nl]=WebSpiegel
-</pre><p>
- </p><p>Now the xdg-desktop-icon tool can be used to add the webmirror.desktop file
- to the desktop:
-</p><pre class="programlisting">
-xdg-desktop-icon install ./shinythings-webmirror.desktop
-</pre><p>
- </p><p>To add a README file to the desktop as well, the following command can be used:
-</p><pre class="programlisting">
-xdg-desktop-icon install ./shinythings-README
-</pre><p>
- </p></div></div></body></html>
