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

+ </simpara>
+ <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.

+ <title>Desktop Files</title>
+ <para>
+ An application launcher can be added to the desktop by installing a
+ *.desktop file. A *.desktop file consists of a
+ <emphasis>[Desktop Entry]</emphasis> header followed by several
+ <replaceable>Key</replaceable>=<replaceable>Value</replaceable> lines.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ 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
+ <replaceable>Key</replaceable>. This way one can specify different
+ values for the same <replaceable>Key</replaceable> depending on the
+ currently selected language.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ The following keys are often used:
+ </para>
+ <variablelist>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>Value=1.0</term>
+ <listitem>
+ <simpara>
+ This is a mandatory field to indicate that the *.desktop file
+ follows the 1.0 version of the specification.
+ </simpara>
+ </listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>Type=Application</term>
+ <listitem>
+ <simpara>
+ This is a mandatory field that indicates that the *.desktop file
+ describes an application launcher.
+ </simpara>
+ </listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>Name=<replaceable>Application Name</replaceable></term>
+ <listitem>
+ <simpara>
+ The name of the application.
+ For example <emphasis>Mozilla</emphasis>
+ </simpara>
+ </listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>GenericName=<replaceable>Generic Name</replaceable></term>
+ <listitem>
+ <simpara>
+ A generic description of the application.
+ For example <emphasis>Web Browser</emphasis>
+ </simpara>
+ </listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>Comment=<replaceable>Comment</replaceable></term>

+ </varlistentry>
+
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>Icon=<replaceable>Icon File</replaceable></term>
+ <listitem>
+ <simpara>
+ 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 <command>xdg-icon-resource</command>
+ 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.

+ </varlistentry>
+
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>Exec=<replaceable>Command Line</replaceable></term>
+ <listitem>
+ <simpara>
+ 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:
+<programlisting>
+shinythings-webmirror.desktop:
+
+ [Desktop Entry]
+ Encoding=UTF-8
+ Type=Application
+
+ Exec=webmirror
+ Icon=shinythings-webmirror
+
+ Name=WebMirror
+ Name[nl]=WebSpiegel
+</programlisting>
+ </para>
+ <para>Now the xdg-desktop-icon tool can be used to add the webmirror.desktop file
+ to the desktop:
+<programlisting>
+xdg-desktop-icon install ./shinythings-webmirror.desktop
+</programlisting>
+ </para>
+ <para>To add a README file to the desktop as well, the following command can be used:
+<programlisting>
+xdg-desktop-icon install ./shinythings-README
+</programlisting>
+ </para>
+ </refsect1>
