Xavier >From what I understand, in the desktop files, we have a list of keywords splitted by ";" which are used by different tools to be able to filter/search per keywords. If I take one file randomly: https://invent.kde.org/graphics/koko/-/blob/master/src/org.kde.koko.desktop?ref_type=heads#L121-152. In this case, we don't need to have the extra spaces (it is not a sentence). I'm not sure how the different keyword parsers work, if the spaces are totally ignored (in which case, we should not care) or if they can cause misses when searching (in this case, we should remove them). Logically, I would say parsers do a grep in the list elements so spaces should be ignored. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
