Package: referencer Version: 1.1.6-2+b1 Severity: minor Tags: patch --- Please enter the report below this line. --- Hi,
I found some issues concerning the desktop entry file of referencer: The TryExec field is useless. [1] states this field is supposed to call an executable to find out if the program is actually installed. This field is optional and I suggest to remove it from the .desktop file. The Exec field calls referencer without an absolute path. I'd suggest to call /usr/bin/referencer directly as this avoids messing with users' PATH environment. The program desktop-file-validate (package desktop-file-utils) complains: ---- [ snip ] ---- /usr/share/applications/referencer.desktop: warning: value "GNOME;Application;Office;" for key "Categories" in group "Desktop Entry" contains a deprecated value "Application" ---- [ snap ] ---- I've attached a patch that hopefully addresses all issues.
