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

|
| + </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.

|
| + 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.

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

|
| + 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

|
| + 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.
|

|
| + .desktop file for the application:

|

|
| + Name=WebMirror
|
| + Name[nl]=WebSpiegel
|
| +</programlisting>
|

|
| + <para>Now the xdg-desktop-icon tool can be used to add the webmirror.desktop file

|

|
