+ Normally, xdg-desktop-icon checks to ensure that a *.desktop file |
+ to be installed has a vendor prefix. This option can be |
+ used to disable that check. |
+ </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. |

+ <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 |

+ </varlistentry> |
+ |
+ <varlistentry> |
+ <term>Type=Application</term> |

+ |
+ <varlistentry> |
+ <term>Name=<replaceable>Application Name</replaceable></term> |

+ <varlistentry> |

+ 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. |

+ </listitem> |

+ |
+ <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> |
