Description Achim Bohnet 2005-02-03 01:58:23 UTC

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, 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?

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:

thanks

Tom

Adds a category to the desktop file. File is compatible with standards, so closing the bug stating it was not.
