I have updated the deskop entry spec with those patches that eveyone seemed to agree on. The updated version can be found on http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-0 .9.6.html
Applied changes: * clarification of Exec key (Waldo Bastian) * correction of StartupWMClass, clarify StartupNotify (Lubos Lunak) * deprecate SortOrder and FilePattern key (Vincent Untz) * remove section on "MIME Type caching" from spec (Vincent Untz) * groups and keys must be unique (Vincent Untz) Below I will propose patches for the remaining open issues. If you have changes that aren't in the updated version already and that aren't mentioned below, please speak up. Process safeguard: The review period for these patches ends at Wednesday Aug 30. Without substantial opposition/requests for change I will commit the patches after the end of the review period. * actions.diff and fixexample.diff Since this isn't widely supported yet I suggest to remove Actions for the 1.0 version and add it back for a 1.1 version. I propose to apply actions-2.diff which removes Actions for 1.0. * regexp.diff Since the only user of regexp was FilePattern, which is now deprecated, I suggest to remove regexp as type altogether. I propose regexp-2.diff which removes regexp as type. * versionkey.diff The field is currently listed as numeric with a well defined meaning, making it easy to compare whether one version is older than another. Not that anyone is actually using the Version field at the moment. I propose to change according to versionkey-2.diff * icon-theme-spec.diff Still a bit undecided on this one, but I wil commit this one as-is if there are no strong opinions to do otherwise. * FSDevice FSDvice is currently only used by KDE. I have moved it's description and the associated keys to Appendix B. Proposed patch is in fsdevice-kde.diff Cheers, Waldo
