Arronax is GUI program to create and edit starter files (.desktop files) for applications locations or URLs. It can be used as a standalone application or as plugins for the file managers Nautilus, Nemo and Caja.

The plugins add a menu item “Create starter for this file” or “Create a starter for this program” to the context menu (that’s the menu you get when you right-click a file) in the file manager. If the file is a application starter you get an item “Modify this starter” instead.

On some desktop environments the plugins add a menu item “Create starter” to your desktop’s context menu.

Arronax supports most of the keys specified by the Desktop Entry Specification including quicklists.

Arronax needs:

  • GTK 3.18 or later

  • Python 3.4 or later

  • PyGObject

  • nautilus-python for the Nautilus plugin
