XDG-DESKTOP-ICON(1) xdg-desktop-icon Manual XDG-DESKTOP-ICON(1)
NAME
xdg-desktop-icon - command line tool for (un)installing icons to the desktop
SYNOPSIS
xdg-desktop-icon install [--novendor] FILE
xdg-desktop-icon uninstall FILE
xdg-desktop-icon {--help | --manual | --version}
DESCRIPTION
The xdg-desktop-icon program can be used to install an application launcher or other file on the desktop of the current user.
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.
COMMANDS
install
Installs FILE to the desktop of the current user. FILE can be a *.desktop file or any other type of file.
uninstall
Removes FILE from the desktop of the current user.
OPTIONS
--novendor
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.
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.
--help
Show command synopsis.
--manual
Show this manual page.
--version
Show the xdg-utils version information.
DESKTOP FILES
An application launcher can be added to the desktop by installing a *.desktop file. A *.desktop file consists of a [Desktop Entry] header
followed by several Key=Value lines.
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 Key. This way one can specify different values for the same Key depending on the
currently selected language.
The following keys are often used:
Value=1.0
This is a mandatory field to indicate that the *.desktop file follows the 1.0 version of the specification.
Type=Application
This is a mandatory field that indicates that the *.desktop file describes an application launcher.
Name=Application Name
The name of the application. For example Mozilla
GenericName=Generic Name
A generic description of the application. For example Web Browser
Comment=Comment
Optional field to specify a tooltip for the application. For example Visit websites on the Internet
Icon=Icon File
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 xdg-icon-resource 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.
Exec=Command Line
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.
For a complete overview of the *.desktop file format please visit http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/desktop-entry-spec
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
xdg-desktop-icon honours the following environment variables:
XDG_UTILS_DEBUG_LEVEL
Setting this environment variable to a non-zero numerical value makes xdg-desktop-icon do more verbose reporting on stderr. Setting a
higher value increases the verbosity.
EXIT CODES
An exit code of 0 indicates success while a non-zero exit code indicates failure. The following failure codes can be returned:
1
Error in command line syntax.
2
One of the files passed on the command line did not exist.
3
A required tool could not be found.
4
The action failed.
5
No permission to read one of the files passed on the command line.

EXAMPLES
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:
shinythings-webmirror.desktop:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Type=Application
Exec=webmirror
Icon=shinythings-webmirror
Name=WebMirror
Name[nl]=WebSpiegel
Now the xdg-desktop-icon tool can be used to add the webmirror.desktop file to the desktop:
xdg-desktop-icon install ./shinythings-webmirror.desktop
To add a README file to the desktop as well, the following command can be used:
xdg-desktop-icon install ./shinythings-README
