# `.desktop` entries
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These can be used for many things such as
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- `~/.local/share/applications` (graphical desktop environments populate app
|
||
|
|
menu from here)
|
||
|
|
- `~/.config/autostart` (graphical desktop environments read user autostarts
|
||
|
|
here)
|
||
|
|
- `/usr/local/share/applications` (global version of above)
|
||
|
|
- `/etc/xdg/autostart` (global version of the above)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## `a-*.desktop`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These files are companions to my script repos `bash/usr-local-bin/*` belonging
|
||
|
|
to `/usr/local/share/applications` and are named so to
|
||
|
|
avoid masking package manager. They have clearly different names such as using
|
||
|
|
all caps. To refresh them:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
sudo update-desktop-database -v /usr/local/share/applications
|
||
|
|
```
