Hi,
attached is an alternative padre.desktop file. There are GenericNames in
several languages (inspired by KDE's quanta.desktop file). I've added a
MimeType key and appended %F to the Exec key, which allows Perl files to
be opened with Padre from file managers. The Comment key is taken from
Debian's padre.desktop file.
The Categories key is set to "Development;IDE" since that's what most of
the other IDEs do. Also, according to
L<http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apa.html>
"Application" and "Perl" are not registered categories.
The Encoding key is gone. According to
L<http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/apc.html>
it is deprecated.
There's a padre.desktop.README file in Padre's "share" subdirectory that
says "Change the hardcoded paths in padre.desktop to your corresponding
installation. This will be automated later". That's not required.
According to the Desktop Entry Specification "the executable is looked
up in the $PATH environment variable if no full path is provided".
There's also no need to give the application icon's full path. The Icon
Theme Specification available at
L<http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-theme-spec/icon-theme
spec-latest.html> specifies where application icons are supposed to be
installed and how they are looked up.
