2012-01-24desktop-entry: Improvements to specification of actionsVincent Untz1-95/+112
Structure and reorganize the text with subsections, and reword for clarifications. Also make the Icon key a localestring, like it is for Desktop Entry. Add a link to the Exec key section in the description of [Desktop Entry]/Exec.
2012-01-24desktop-entry: Restore support for Desktop ActionsGiovanni Campagna1-3/+127
Reintroduce the Actions key, which was removed around version 1.1, and give it a formal specification, detailing what actions applications are expected to provide and who should make use of this information. Names were taken from the original specification, since apparently they have been in use during all this time. Also remove X-KDE-* keys from the example, as it's unrelated to the spec.
2011-12-19desktop-entry: Add an optional Keywords keyFlorian Müllner1-2/+21
When searching through .desktop files, the existing keys meant for menu browsing may produce insufficient results; add a new optional key specifically targeting search which may be used to improve matches.

2007-07-27 Vincent Untz <vuntz@gnome.org> * desktop-entry-spec.xml: don't say that the files are encoded as lines of 8-bit characters, which is wrong for UTF-8. Use something a bit better proposed by Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com> Bug #11417.

2007-04-28 Vincent Untz <vuntz@gnome.org> * desktop-entry-spec.xml: scanf behavior is locale-dependent, and the numeric type shouldn't be. Specify that the value is a floating point number as recognized by scanf in the C locale. Thanks to Dan Winship <danw@gnome.org> for catching this. http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2007-April/009732.html

2007-04-28 Vincent Untz <vuntz@gnome.org> * desktop-entry-spec.xml: a desktop file of type Application should always have an Exec key. Same for Link Type and URL key. http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2007-March/009437.html

2007-04-28 Vincent Untz <vuntz@gnome.org> * desktop-entry-spec.xml: desktop files of type Directory have a .directory extension right now (at least in GNOME), but according to the spec, this is wrong. The patch fixes this. Also, it removes a small part of text explaining the name of a desktop file describing a directory. http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2007-March/009437.html

2007-04-28 Vincent Untz <vuntz@gnome.org> * desktop-entry-spec.xml:clarify a bit the text about keys that only makes sense in a specific context. Also, state that the keys should not be used outside of this context. For example, the URL key should not be present if the type is not Link. http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2007-March/009437.html

2007-04-28 Vincent Untz <vuntz@gnome.org> * desktop-entry-spec.xml: this changes the type of the version from numeric to string. It's needed if we consider the possibility that there are some desktop entry files out there using 0.9.x as a value for this key. The change doesn't break anything.
