The source package may contain a .desktop file, but this file is not present in the binary package, at least for Ubuntu 12.04. The build rules seem to ignore the file, and it is not installed.
The '.menu' file, used in the Debian Menu spec, is ignored in Ubuntu, which uses the Freedesktop Desktop Entry and Menu Spec ( http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ ). File should be installed to /usr/share/applications. Also, the .desktop file in the source package has some issues: - 'DocPath' is not a recognized key, it's valid for KDE only (see http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ar01s05.html ) - 'Application' is not a valid category (see http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/1.0/apa.html ) - 'Encoding' is a deprecated key (see http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/apc.html ) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1092091 Title: Need .desktop file To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openmsx-catapult/+bug/1092091/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
