NAME

6        icewm-menu-fdo - menu generator for .desktop files
7

SYNOPSIS

9       icewm-menu-fdo [FILENAME]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       icewm-menu-fdo introduces the XDG menu descriptors (aka FreeDesktop.Org
13       .desktop files) to the menus of IceWM window manager.
14

ARGUMENTS

16       [FILENAME]
17           When provided with the optional FILENAME argument that is the name
18           and location of a .desktop file, icewm-menu-fdo will open it and
19           launch the application using the "Exec" line from the desktop file.
20

OPTIONS

22       This program doesn't use command line options. In future, it might
23       support the pass-through of arguments to the command run from .desktop
24       file's "Exec" line.
25

USAGE

27       This utility is not normally used directly, but is used as the
28       executable in a menuprog entry in a menu.
29

EXAMPLES

31       The following line in a icewm-menu(5) file will dynamically generate a
32       comprehensive set of menus for easy access to .desktop files.
33
34           menuprog "Desktop Apps" folder icewm-menu-fdo
35

ENVIRONMENT

37       XDG_DATA_HOME or XDG_DATA_DIRS are considered as suggested by XDG Base
38       Directory Specification.
39

CONFORMING TO

41       icewm-menu-fdo complies roughly to the XDG .desktop file and menu
42       specification, see "Desktop Entry Specification", Version 1.2alpha,
43       2015-03-06 and "Desktop Menu Specification", Version 1.1-draft, 31
44       March 2011.
45

CAVEATS

47       The icewm-menu-fdo program is only built when the icewm(1) package is
48       configured with the --enable-menus-fdo option, which requires the
49       glib2-dev package dependency.
