We sometimes need to make a .desktop file to integrate an App into a Start menu and so on. Or, to edit an existing one.
For example, right now I'm trying to make VLC player to open a whole folder by editing the
/usr/share/applications/vlc.desktop I've prepended a
inode/directory; on the appropriate (?) line as follows:
Code: Select all
MimeType=inode/directory;application/ogg...
However VLC does not show in the right click context menu in SpaceFM for a folder. Interestingly, the "mpv Media Player" is there, yet if we look at the mpv.desktop there is no mentioning of the word "directory" -- it's a mystery how it appears in the list then.
Once I figure this out (help appreciated) I'll add the instruction here and it'd make a nice "tutorial"
