A CLI for interacting with .desktop files
Project description
desktop-cli
A cli for interacting with desktop files.
Desktop files are the executable files of desktop environments on Linux. Read my blog post on the topic.
This is unreviewed AI-generated code.
Alternatives and prior work
You could try using locate or similar to find desktop files. Desktop files often live in knowns locations and addition files are added to the XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variable. You could use this to write a shell one-liner. gtk-launch can be used to start desktop files (and will find them on the "desktop path").
Installation
pipx instal desktop-cli
Usage
desktop list
desktop cat obsidian.desktop
desktop path obsidian.destop
