CrossDesktop.DesktopEntries

An opinionated library for discovering, parsing and inspecting desktop entry files following the XDG Desktop Entry Specification. This package implements the majority of the XDG Freedesktop.org Desktop Entry Specification, and should be able to locate and parse any desktop entries that follow the specification in any supported location.

This can be used to easily locate and identify all available desktop entries, as well as inspect their properties, both for user-installed and system-installed items.

This library only supports reading desktop entries, and does not currently support editing, creating or writing desktop entries

While it should be able to handle most desktop entries, the package has mostly only been tested on Application- and Link-type entries, and has been developed from the specification rather than from any desktop environment's implementation of the spec.
