[chirp_devel] Patch that updates desktop entry file (Linux)
# HG changeset patch # User Patrik Nilsson asavartzeth@gmail.com # Date 1502892912 -7200 # Wed Aug 16 16:15:12 2017 +0200 # Node ID 49c7636445b4ec7a9ad101ca99b294f3e4ff8bde # Parent c56244c58fe85688ef0da20a3f7bfebc0f447e6c Fix Linux/Unix desktop entry file Fixes #5075 #3491
- Update "Version" to 1.0 - Fix "GenericName" not being generic - Fix "Comment" being redundant with "GenericName" and wrong format - Fix hard-coded icon extension - Fix "Categories" using incorrect non-existing main category "Application", using "Utility" instead. - Add ability to open files with chirpw (based on Debian patch) - Add several "Keywords" for discoverability
Fixing the hard-coded icon enables theming and is a pre-requsite for adding a scalable icon and/or icons of different sizes. It should also resolve bug #3491.

I applied this, but I figure it's probably not worth doing a build just for this, especially since most of the (windows and mac) users are unaffected. Is that okay?
It'll go out as part of the next one as triggered by a functional patch.

That is completely fine with me.
