NAME
gnome-desktop-item-edit - GNOME Desktop file editor
SYNOPSIS
gnome-desktop-item-edit [--create-new] filename
DESCRIPTION
gnome-desktop-item-edit is the GNOME Desktop file editor, which you can use to create or edit the .desktop (known as desktop) file. GNOME
uses a standard desktop file specification as proposed by freedesktop.org. A desktop file consists of a number of name-value pairs that
define how a desktop should organize a particular application. As this is defined as an open standard, integration of applications into
GNOME Desktop is relatively straightforward.
A basic entry in the desktop file must start with a tag called [Desktop Entry]. It can then have a number of name-value pairs as defined by
the standard. The minimum entries are as follows:
Name the name of the application
Comment a textual description of the application which is displayed as a tooltip message by gnome-panel. When set appropri-
ately, the comment can be localized within the same file.
Exec the name of the actual executable
Icon the file name of the icon image
Type the desktop file type
Categories a multi-string field which is used by gnome-panel to group applications into the appropriate categories.
These desktop files provide the information to gnome-panel, which places the application in the appropriate locations on the panel. In
a similar manner, the GNOME file manager (Nautilus) uses information from the desktop files to display the 'applications:///' view.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
--create-new Creates a new .desktop file.
OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
filename The name of the desktop file to be edited or viewed.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Editing an existing .desktop file
example% gnome-desktop-item-edit fullpath/filename
This command invokes the launcher dialog and loads the contents of the specified desktop file into the relevant fields.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 Application exited successfully
>0 Application exited with failure
FILES
The following files are used by this application:
/usr/bin/gnome-desktop-item-edit
Executable for GNOME Desktop file editor
/usr/share/applications/
Location of system desktop files
