Version: 0.7.2-cvs (using KDE 3.3.2, (3.1)) Compiler: gcc version 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-6) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.10-1-686 Since KDE 3.2, KDE supports applications desktop files according to the freedesktop.org desktop entry standard: http://www.freedesktop.org/Standards/desktop-entry-spec Adding a digikam/showfoto desktop files leads to more visibility on non-KDE desktops that following implement this standard because digikam/showfoto appear is their application menues too. Examples of the 'new' desktop files can be 'normally' found in /usr/share/applications/ This was inspired by the debian bug report: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=271562 Achim
Achim, we already use desktop files which are complient to the standard as far as i can tell. I have looked at the standard and the one we have, and I have come up with a small patch, which only adds a category as suggested in the debian report. Did I miss something?
Created attachment 10391 [details] adds a cat.
Hi Christoffer, I'm a digiKam developer and want it to be complient to the standard. I will insert a "Categories=Qt;KDE;Graphics;" although that is not really necesary to be complient. The swedish translation has already been added to the desktop file by the swedish team. Can you tell me what needs to be done in your view to get it complient, because I think it already is. You can see it at: http://webcvs.kde.org/kdeextragear-3/digikam/digikam/digikam.desktop?rev=1.35&view=auto thanks Tom Created an attachment (id=10394) smime-1.p7s
