Does it really need a description? I think the name is pretty self-explanatory. What would you have it say? It's true thaf the name is quite self-explanatory, but we do give descriptions to System Monitor, Partition Manager, System Settings and so on... So why not Emoji Selector? It was very noticable for me in Kickoff, since only this program was missing a description. In short, adding a description and comment would be for the sake of consistency.

Properties of Ark, Emoji Selector, System Settings and System Monitor
I've attached a screenshot to highlight some inconsistencies I've found (in Neon Testing live environment). If the comment is missing, there won't be anything below the application name in Kickoff. If the description is missing, when hovering over an icon in the panel, there won't be anything below the application/widget name. And also if the comment/description is identical to the application name, like in the case of System Monitor, the comment/description won't be displayed in Kickoff/the panel. I think the naming of .desktop files (not just those of applications, but widgets too) should be streamlined or at least there could be a recommended way to do it in the HIG.

Instead, set a comment that's different and descriptive.

That's a good idea. I'll throw it on the pile of stuff to do. |
