You most likely will want to put a %u or %U into that line somewhere. Either placeholder tells the launcher that the program is considered to be capable of handling URLs itself. (%u one URL, %U a list of URLs). Just in case someone associates that entry with a MIME type, e.g. text/html Otherwise the launcher is allowed to assume a safe position and treat the program as only capable of loading local files. > Is placement in /usr/share/applications/ appropriate? TIA /usr/share is usually considered under control of the package manager, local system extensions are usually places in /usr/local/share. You can of course make a package that installs your .desktop files into that location or set the $XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variable to contain the two detault search prefixes and any prefix you'd want to use.
