Struct ApplicationEntry 

pub struct ApplicationEntry {
    pub id: Rc<str>,
    pub name: Rc<str>,
    pub exec: Option<Rc<str>>,
    pub exec_args: Vec<Rc<str>>,
    pub icon: Option<Rc<str>>,
}

And data structure representing an application

It contains a subset of the fields from an XDG desktop entry file

Fields

id: Rc<str>

The application’s id

The filename of the desktop entry file without the .desktop extension and is used to uniquely identify an application

name: Rc<str>

The application’s name

The name that is displayed to the user in the application menu, taskbar, etc.

exec: Option<Rc<str>>

The application’s executable

The absolute path to the application’s executable, obtained from the Exec field in the desktop entry file

exec_args: Vec<Rc<str>>

The application’s argv as declared in the desktop entry

Tokens of the Exec= line starting from the primary binary (launcher prefixes such as flatpak/snap/env are stripped).

Used to tell apart applications that share an exec path. For example Chromium PWAs (distinguished by --app-id=/--app=) or user-made launcher shortcuts for the same binary with different args.

icon: Option<Rc<str>>

The application’s icon

If available, taken verbatim from the Icon field in the desktop entry file
