Description
The desktop files provided in the 4-0-3 release have several errors. See https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ for details.
Version=@PACKAGE_VERSION@
is incorrect. This field is supposed to contain the version of the Desktop Entry Specification in use. It should be changed toVersion=1.0
in both desktop files.desktop/Singular.desktop.in
contains the fieldEncoding=UTF-8
, but the file is actually encoded in ISO8859-1. It should be converted to UTF-8. Furthermore, theEncoding
fields are obsolete and should be removed; all desktop files should be UTF-8 now.- The
Icon
field can be an absolute filename, but typically should just contain the basename of the icon, i.e.,Icon=Singular
. The specification describes an algorithm used to find the icon from the basename. desktop/Singular-manual.desktop.in
contains aCategories
field, but it also hasType=Link
. TheCategories
field is only valid forType=Application
.
