adding appications
Example application: example
Where possible, we store our stuff in a separate subdirectory smartclient
/usr/share/applications/example.desktop | general application description, like Name, Exec(utable), Icon. SmartClient subdirectory /usr/share/applications/smartclient/ would by possible, but %suse_update_desktop_file does not support directories | |
/usr/share/pixmap/example.png | application icon (using /usr/share/icons/default.kde4/48x48/apps/example.png is also possible, but more complicated. Also problems occur, if the user changes the default icon them) | |
/usr/share/mime/packages/example-mime-type.xml | mime type description |
testing KDE4 icons
to test, if an icon is recognised by the system, act as follow:
# copy the icon example.png or example.svgz to /usr/share/pixmap/ # if available, choose the svgz image format, otherwise png. (xpm does also work) cp -a example.svgz /usr/share/pixmap/ # create a directory for testing mkdir /tmp/test # copy some .desktop files to the testing directory. At least one should have the line "Icon=example" cp -a example_working.desktop example_testing.desktop /tmp/test # remove the users icon cache rm -r ~/.kde4/cache-*/kpc/ # check if the icons gets displayed correctly strace -e trace=access -o /tmp/test/konq_icon.strace -f konqueror /tmp/test # close konqueror # in case of problems, analyse the strace log file less /tmp/test/konq_icon.strace
