Description Daniel Moyne 2004-09-08 14:19:35 UTC 
Version:           3.2.3 (using KDE 3.2.3, Mandrake Linux Cooker i586 - Cooker)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.2 (Mandrake Linux 10.0 3.3.2-6mdk)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.8-0.rc2.2mdk

When opening property window attached to a *.desktop icon there is apparently no possibily to use variables like $PATH in the command line of the application tag ; for example :
$APP_PATH/app_name
where of course the $APP_PATH variable is properly set in the user domain ; can this be fixed ?

This is supported, using Key[$e]=Value in the .desktop file.
However there is no GUI for it indeed...
Comment 2 Nate Graham 2018-04-23 16:09:07 UTC 
Not sure a dedicated GUI for this is necessary, as you can just use your favorite GUI text editor to change the .desktop file.
