The subject says it all. How do I find the .desktop file that is
associated with a particular launcher icon on a mate panel?
I have been googling since yesterday and I have not found an answer. I
have been told that the files are in:
# *System-wide apps:* |/usr/share/applications/|
# *User-installed apps:* |~/.local/share/applications/|
|
|
and there certainly are .desktop files in these locations. The first
has quite a few such files, a few of which are for programs that I have
launchers for. Most are not. The second has only a few files, none of
which match up with launchers on the panel in question.
I also have .desktop files in ~/.config/mate/panel2.d/default/launchers,
which would appear to match the launchers on the panel, except that two
of them are missing (these are available in /usr/share/applications/.
So, some are in /usr/share/applications/, some are in
~/.local/share/applications/, and some are in both. How do I determine
which file a launcher icon is actually attached to?
