.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:

sudo update-desktop-database -v /usr/local/share/applications
