But in the case where a .desktop file is launched outside of the default paths, or in the case of duplicates, it's really helpful to know the full path. Think for example of someone who has a system installation of Firefox, and also installs a beta into their home directory. That's two mozilla-firefox.desktop files. Ideally, the system would handle this and at least differentiate them internally, not treating them as the same app. (People have asked about this particular case already) Why would we throw away the extra information? _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
