Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Two versions of wireshark.desktop?

["Jaap Keuter" <jaap.keuter@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Yes, the desktop file in root is probably used for other packaging purposes
as well. I haven't looked into
The desktop file standards stuff to know what is current practice, what is
old, and what is supported on the
Various platforms.
Anyone a pointer to where this stuff is defined?

Thanx,
Jaap

OK, verified the above statement. The only additional thing is:
Icon=hi48-app-wireshark.png
They also seem to feel a need to provide an absolute path to the executable.

The standard doesn't state whether 'Exec' is required to provide an absolute
path.
I'm not sure but I don't think we should provide an absolute path, or if so,
then do this via the configure mechanism.
Providing an Icon might be of general interest though.

Ciao

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
