hi David, all created "apps" are in $HOME/.local/share/applications/ and if you're using EFM - no problem at all to get what each file mean. EFM shows the "Name=" from the "*.desktop" file and also shows the appropriate icon. you can simply drag'n'drop files from $HOME/.local/share/applications/ to any text editor (like SciTE). also EFM allow you to quickly rename each file according to your needs. not all apps are created like "_new_app-1.desktop" - the ICCCM Properties are in if you're creating a "*.desktop" file of a running application (Alt+Right mouse click by default -> Create/Edit Icon in menu). the current schema is quite easy and convenient - just use EFM :) good luck. sda
