Detailed Description

KDE Desktop File Management.

This class implements KDE's support for the freedesktop.org Desktop Entry Spec.

Author:: Pietro Iglio <iglio@kde.org>

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

KDesktopFile::KDesktopFile	(	const char *	resourceType,
		const QString &	fileName
	)		`[explicit]`

Constructs a KDesktopFile object.

See KStandardDirs for more information on resources.

Parameters:

resourceType	Allows you to change what sort of resource to search for if `fileName` is not absolute. For instance, you might want to specify "config".
fileName	The name or path of the desktop file. If it is not absolute, it will be located using the resource type `resType`.

Definition at line 54 of file kdesktopfile.cpp.

KDesktopFile::KDesktopFile ( const QString & fileName ) [explicit]

Constructs a KDesktopFile object.

See KStandardDirs for more information on resources.

Parameters:

fileName The name or path of the desktop file. If it is not absolute, it will be located using the resource type "apps"

Definition at line 62 of file kdesktopfile.cpp.

KDesktopFile::~KDesktopFile ( ) [virtual]

Destructs the KDesktopFile object.

Writes back any dirty configuration entries.

Definition at line 70 of file kdesktopfile.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

KConfigGroup KDesktopFile::actionGroup ( const QString & group )

Sets the desktop action group.

Parameters:

group the new action group

Definition at line 244 of file kdesktopfile.cpp.

const KConfigGroup KDesktopFile::actionGroup ( const QString & group ) const

Definition at line 249 of file kdesktopfile.cpp.

KDesktopFile * KDesktopFile::copyTo ( const QString & file ) const

Copies all entries from this config object to a new KDesktopFile object that will save itself to file.

Actual saving to file happens when the returned object is destructed or when sync() is called upon it.

Parameters:

file	the new KDesktopFile object it will save itself to.

Definition at line 369 of file kdesktopfile.cpp.

KConfigGroup KDesktopFile::desktopGroup ( ) const

Definition at line 74 of file kdesktopfile.cpp.

QString KDesktopFile::fileName ( ) const

Definition at line 383 of file kdesktopfile.cpp.

bool KDesktopFile::hasActionGroup ( const QString & group ) const

Returns true if the action group exists, false otherwise.

Parameters:

group the action group to test

Returns:: true if the action group exists

Definition at line 254 of file kdesktopfile.cpp.

bool KDesktopFile::hasApplicationType ( ) const

Checks whether there is an entry "Type=Application".

Returns:: true if there is a "Type=Application" entry

Definition at line 264 of file kdesktopfile.cpp.

bool KDesktopFile::hasDeviceType ( ) const

Checks whether there is an entry "Type=FSDevice".

Returns:: true if there is a "Type=FSDevice" entry

Definition at line 274 of file kdesktopfile.cpp.

bool KDesktopFile::hasLinkType ( ) const

Checks whether there is a "Type=Link" entry.

The link points to the "URL=" entry.

Returns:: true if there is a "Type=Link" entry

Definition at line 259 of file kdesktopfile.cpp.

bool KDesktopFile::hasMimeTypeType ( ) const

Checks whether there is an entry "Type=MimeType".

Returns:: true if there is a "Type=MimeType" entry

Definition at line 269 of file kdesktopfile.cpp.

bool KDesktopFile::isAuthorizedDesktopFile ( const QString & path ) [static]

Checks whether the user is authorized to run this desktop file.

By default users are authorized to run all desktop files but the KIOSK framework can be used to activate certain restrictions. See README.kiosk for more information.

Note: Since KDE 4.3, there are more restrictions on authorized desktop files to prevent users from inadvertently running trojan desktop files. Your application launchers should have the executable bit set to prevent issues. To see if a restriction is due to KIOSK, see KAuthorized.

Parameters:

path	the file to check

Returns:: true if the user is authorized to run the file

Definition at line 138 of file kdesktopfile.cpp.

bool KDesktopFile::isDesktopFile ( const QString & path ) [static]

Checks whether this is really a desktop file.

The check is performed looking at the file extension (the file is not opened). Currently, the only valid extension is ".desktop".

Parameters:

path	the path of the file to check

Returns:: true if the file appears to be a desktop file.

Definition at line 132 of file kdesktopfile.cpp.

QString KDesktopFile::locateLocal ( const QString & path ) [static]

Returns the location where changes for the .desktop file path should be written to.

Definition at line 80 of file kdesktopfile.cpp.

bool KDesktopFile::noDisplay ( ) const

Whether the entry should be suppressed in menus.

This handles the NoDisplay key, but also OnlyShowIn / NotShowIn.

Returns:: true to suppress this service

Since:: 4.1

Definition at line 388 of file kdesktopfile.cpp.
