That may be my fault. I introduced a macro into extra-cmake-modules ecm_configured_install which takes foo.bar.in runs cmake configure and installs as foo.bar. That macro wasn't explicitly intended for .desktop file usage, but it's certainly a place where I can imagine it being used. >revert to .desktop.cmake as expected) Is it expected as some form of standard? If so, I can change that macro to look for .in or .cmake files. I remember in the review a discussion on the suffix for configurable files and came to the conclusion that it was somewhat random, but .in was the more common. David
