Struct ApplicationEntry 

pub struct ApplicationEntry { /* private fields */ }

Implementations

impl ApplicationEntry

pub fn name(&self) -> Option<String>

Get the application name

pub fn id(&self) -> Option<String>

Get the desktop file ID according to the freedesktop specification

The desktop file ID is computed by making the file path relative to the XDG_DATA_DIRS component, removing “applications/” prefix, and converting ‘/’ to ‘-’. For example: /usr/share/applications/foo/bar.desktop → foo-bar.desktop

pub fn exec(&self) -> Option<String>

Get the executable command

pub fn icon(&self) -> Option<String>

Get the icon name or path

pub fn get_string(&self, key: &str) -> Option<String>

Get a string value from the Desktop Entry group

pub fn get_localized_string( &self, key: &str, locale: Option<&str>, ) -> Option<String>

Get a localized string value from the Desktop Entry group

pub fn get_bool(&self, key: &str) -> Option<bool>

Get a boolean value from the Desktop Entry group

pub fn get_numeric(&self, key: &str) -> Option<f64>

Get a numeric value from the Desktop Entry group

pub fn get_vec(&self, key: &str) -> Option<Vec<String>>

Get a vector of strings from the Desktop Entry group

pub fn path(&self) -> &Path

Get the file path of this desktop entry

pub fn entry_type(&self) -> Option<String>

Get the entry type (Application, Link, Directory)

pub fn generic_name(&self) -> Option<String>

Get generic name (e.g., “Web Browser”)

pub fn comment(&self) -> Option<String>

Get comment/description

pub fn should_show(&self) -> bool

pub fn is_hidden(&self) -> bool

Check if entry should be hidden

pub fn no_display(&self) -> bool

Check if entry should not be displayed in menus

pub fn mime_types(&self) -> Option<Vec<String>>

Get supported MIME types

pub fn categories(&self) -> Option<Vec<String>>

Get categories

pub fn keywords(&self) -> Option<Vec<String>>

Get keywords for searching

pub fn terminal(&self) -> bool

Check if application runs in terminal

pub fn path_dir(&self) -> Option<String>

Get working directory

pub fn execute(&self) -> Result<(), ExecuteError>

Execute this application with no files

pub fn execute_with_files(&self, files: &[&str]) -> Result<(), ExecuteError>

Execute this application with the given files

pub fn execute_with_urls(&self, urls: &[&str]) -> Result<(), ExecuteError>

Execute this application with the given URLs

pub fn prepare_command( &self, files: &[&str], urls: &[&str], ) -> Result<(String, Vec<String>), ExecuteError>

Prepare the command for execution without actually executing it (for testing)

impl ApplicationEntry

pub fn all() -> Vec<ApplicationEntry>

Get all application entries from standard directories

pub fn from_path<P: AsRef<Path>>(path: P) -> Result<Self, ParseError>

Create an ApplicationEntry from a path

pub fn try_from_path<P: AsRef<Path>>(path: P) -> Result<Self, ParseError>

Try to create an ApplicationEntry from a path, returning Result

pub fn from_id(id: &str) -> Result<Self, FindError>

Find an ApplicationEntry by its desktop file ID

The desktop file ID follows the freedesktop specification format. For example: “foo-bar.desktop” would look for files like:

• /usr/share/applications/foo/bar.desktop
• /usr/share/applications/foo-bar.desktop

Trait Implementations
