DESCRIPTION The desktop-file-validate program is a tool to validate desktop entry files according to the Desktop Entry specification 1.1. The specification describes a file format to provide information such as name, icon and description for an application. Such a file can then be used as an application launcher and to display the application in the applications menu. For information about the Desktop Entry specification, see http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/desktop-entry-spec. The desktop entry files are commonly called desktop files. OPTIONS The following options are supported: --no-hints Do not output hints about things that might be improved in the desktop file. --no-warn-deprecated Do not warn about usage of deprecated items that were defined in previous versions of the specification. --warn-kde Warn about usage of KDE extensions to the specification. This includes the use of the KDE Desktop Entry group, of the Service- Types, DocPath, Keywords, InitialPreference, Dev, FSType, Mount- Point, ReadOnly, UnmountIcon keys, or of the Service, Service- Type and FSDevice types.
