| 88 Install one or more applications in a submenu of |
| 89 the desktop menu system. |
| 90 </simpara> |
| 91 <simpara><replaceable>desktop-file</replaceable>: |
| 92 A desktop file represents a single menu entry in the menu. |
| 93 Desktop files are defined by the freedesktop.org Desktop Entry |
| 94 Specification. The most important aspects of *.desktop |
| 95 files are summarized below. |
| 96 </simpara> |
| 97 <simpara> |
| 98 Menu entries can be added to the menu system in two different |
| 99 ways. They can either be added to a predefined submenu in the |
| 100 menu system based on one or more category keywords, or they can |
| 101 be added to a new submenu. |
| 102 </simpara> |
| 103 <simpara> |
| 104 To add a menu entry to a predefined submenu the desktop file |
| 105 that represents the menu entry must have a Categories= entry |
| 106 that lists one or more keywords. The menu item will be included |
| 107 in an appropriate submenu based on the included keywords. |
| 108 </simpara> |
| 109 <simpara> |
| 110 To add menu items to a new submenu the desktop-files must be |
| 111 preceded by a directory-file that describes the submenu. |
| 112 If multiple desktop-files are specified, all entries will |
| 113 be added to the same menu. If entries are installed to a menu |
| 114 that has been created with a previous call to |
| 115 <command>xdg-desktop-menu</command> the entries will be |
| 116 installed in addition to any already existing entries. |
| 117 </simpara> |
| 118 <simpara><replaceable>directory-file</replaceable>: |
| 119 The *.directory file indicated by |
| 120 <replaceable>directory-file</replaceable> represents a submenu. |
| 121 The directory file provides the name and icon for a submenu. The |
| 122 name of the directory file is used to identify the submenu. |
| 123 </simpara> |
| 124 <simpara> |
| 125 If multiple directory files are provided each file will |
| 126 represent a submenu within the menu that preceeds it, creating |
| 127 a nested menu hierarchy (sub-sub-menus). |
| 128 The menu entries themselves will be added to the last submenu. |
| 129 </simpara> |
| 130 <simpara> |
| 131 Directory files follow the syntax defined by the freedesktop.org |
| 132 Desktop Entry Specification. |

| 184 Normally, xdg-desktop-menu checks to ensure that any *.directory |
| 185 and *.desktop files to be installed has a vendor prefix. |
| 186 This option can be used to disable that check. |
| 187 </simpara> |
| 188 <simpara> |
| 189 A vendor prefix consists of alpha characters ([a-zA-Z]) and is |
| 190 terminated with a dash ("-"). |
| 191 Companies and organizations are encouraged to use a word |
| 192 or phrase, preferably the organizations name, for which they hold |
| 193 a trademark as their vendor prefix. |
| 194 The purpose of the vendor prefix is to prevent name conflicts. |

| 248 An application item in the application menu is represented by a |
| 249 *.desktop file. A *.desktop file consists of a |

| 252 </para> |
| 253 <para> |
| 254 A *.desktop file can provide a name and description for an application |
| 255 in several different languages. This is done by adding a language |
| 256 code as used by LC_MESSAGES in square brackets behind the |
| 257 <replaceable>Key</replaceable>. This way one can specify different |
| 258 values for the same <replaceable>Key</replaceable> depending on the |

| 322 in the user's current icon theme. The <command>xdg-icon-resource</co

| 323 command can be used to install image files into icon themes. |
| 324 The advantage of using an icon-name instead of an absolute |

| 340 can be specified on the command line the %F placeholder should |

| 356 to a new submenu it is not necassery to list any categories. |
| 357 </simpara> |
| 358 <simpara> |

| 564 <para> |
| 565 The company ShinyThings Inc. has developed an application named |
| 566 "WebMirror" and would like to add it to the application menu. |
| 567 The company will use "shinythings" as its vendor id. |
| 568 In order to add the application to the menu there needs to be a |
| 569 .desktop file with a suitable <emphasis>Categories</emphasis> entry: |
| 570 <programlisting> |
| 571 shinythings-webmirror.desktop: |
| 572 |
| 573 [Desktop Entry] |
| 574 Encoding=UTF-8 |
| 575 Type=Application |
| 576 |
| 577 Exec=webmirror |
| 578 Icon=webmirror |
| 579 |
| 580 Name=WebMirror |
| 581 Name[nl]=WebSpiegel |
| 582 |
| 583 Categories=Network;WebDevelopment; |
| 584 </programlisting> |
| 585 </para> |
| 586 <para>Now the xdg-desktop-menu tool can be used to add the |
| 587 shinythings-webmirror.desktop file to the desktop application menu: |
| 588 <programlisting> |
| 589 xdg-desktop-menu install ./shinythings-webmirror.desktop |
| 590 </programlisting> |
| 591 </para> |
| 592 <para> |
| 593 Note that for the purpose of this example the menu items are available |
| 594 in two languages, English and Dutch. |
| 595 The language code for Dutch is nl. |
| 596 </para> |
| 597 <para> |
| 598 In the next example the company ShinyThings Inc. will add its own |
| 599 submenu to the desktop application menu consisting of a |
| 600 "WebMirror" menu item and a "WebMirror Admin Tool" menu item. |
| 601 </para> |
| 602 <para> |
| 603 First the company needs to create two .desktop files that describe |
| 604 the two menu items. Since the items are to be added to a new submenu |
| 605 it is not necassery to include a Categories= line: |
| 606 <programlisting> |
| 607 shinythings-webmirror.desktop: |
| 608 |
| 609 [Desktop Entry] |
| 610 Encoding=UTF-8 |
| 611 Type=Application |
| 612 |
| 613 Exec=webmirror |
| 614 Icon=shinythings-webmirror |
| 615 |
| 616 Name=WebMirror |
| 617 Name[nl]=WebSpiegel |
| 618 |
| 619 |
| 620 shinythings-webmirror-admin.desktop: |
| 621 |
| 622 [Desktop Entry] |
| 623 Encoding=UTF-8 |
| 624 Type=Application |
| 625 |
| 626 Exec=webmirror-admintool |
| 627 Icon=shinythings-webmirror-admintool |
| 628 |
| 629 Name=WebMirror Admin Tool |
| 630 Name[nl]=WebSpiegel Administratie Tool |
| 631 </programlisting> |
| 632 </para> |
| 633 <para> |
| 634 In addition a .directory file needs to be created to provide a title and i
con |
| 635 for the sub-menu itself: |
| 636 <programlisting> |
| 637 shinythings-webmirror.directory: |
| 638 |
| 639 [Desktop Entry] |
| 640 Encoding=UTF-8 |
| 641 |
| 642 Icon=shinythings-webmirror-menu |
| 643 |
| 644 Name=WebMirror |
| 645 Name[nl]=WebSpiegel |
| 646 </programlisting> |
| 647 </para> |
| 648 <para> |
| 649 These file can now be installed with: |
| 650 <programlisting> |
| 651 xdg-desktop-menu install ./shinythings-webmirror.directory \ |
| 652 ./shinythings-webmirror.desktop ./shinythings-webmirror-admin.desktop |
| 653 </programlisting> |
| 654 </para> |
| 655 <para> |
| 656 The menu entries could also be installed one by one: |
| 657 <programlisting> |
| 658 xdg-desktop-menu install --noupdate ./shinythings-webmirror.directory \ |
| 659 ./shinythings-webmirror.desktop |
| 660 xdg-desktop-menu install --noupdate ./shinythings-webmirror.directory \ |
| 661 ./shinythings-webmirror-admin.desktop |
| 662 xdg-desktop-menu forceupdate |
| 663 </programlisting> |
| 664 </para> |
| 665 <para> |
| 666 Although the result is the same it is slightly more efficient to |
| 667 install all files at the same time. |
| 668 </para> |
| 669 <para> |
| 670 The *.desktop and *.directory files reference icons with the names |
| 671 webmirror, webmirror-admin and webmirror-menu which should also be |
| 672 installed. In this example the icons are installed in two different |
| 673 sizes, once with a size of 22x22 pixels and once with a size |
| 674 of 64x64 pixels: |
| 675 <programlisting> |
| 676 xdg-icon-resource install --size 22 ./wmicon-22.png shinythings-webmirror |
| 677 xdg-icon-resource install --size 22 ./wmicon-menu-22.png shinythings-webmirror-m
enu |
| 678 xdg-icon-resource install --size 22 ./wmicon-admin-22.png shinythings-webmirror-
admin |
| 679 xdg-icon-resource install --size 64 ./wmicon-64.png shinythings-webmirror |
| 680 xdg-icon-resource install --size 64 ./wmicon-menu-64.png shinythings-webmirror-m
enu |
| 681 xdg-icon-resource install --size 64 ./wmicon-admin-64.png shinythings-webmirror-
admin |
| 682 </programlisting> |
| 683 </para> |
| 684 </refsect1> |
| 685 </refentry> |
