Class Gio.DesktopAppInfo

Import line:	Gio = imports.gi.Gio;
GIR File:	Gio-2.0.gir
C documentation:	GDesktopAppInfo
Class :	DesktopAppInfo
Implements:	Gio.AppInfo
Extends:	GObject.Object

GDesktopAppInfo is an implementation of GAppInfo based on
desktop files.
Note that <gio/gdesktopappinfo.h> belongs to
the UNIX-specific GIO interfaces, thus you have to use the
gio-unix-2.0.pc pkg-config file when using it.

	Gio.DesktopAppInfo.set_desktop_env (String *desktop_env) : none Sets the name of the desktop that the application is running in. Sets the name of the desktop that the application is running in. This is used by g_app_info_should_show() to evaluate the OnlyShowIn and NotShowIn desktop entry fields. The Desktop Menu specification recognizes the following: GNOME KDE ROX XFCE Old Should be called only once; subsequent calls are ignored. Parameters: String desktop_env* Required (not null) a string specifying what desktop this is Returns: none	Gio.DesktopAppInfo
	add_supports_type (String *content_type) : gboolean Adds a content type to the application information to indicate the application is capable of opening files with the given content type.

	get_executable () : String Gets the executable's name for the installed application. Gets the executable's name for the installed application. binaries name Returns: String a string containing the appinfo's application	Gio.AppInfo
	get_filename () : String When info was created from a known filename, return it. When info was created from a known filename, return it. In some situations such as the GDesktopAppInfo returned from g_desktop_app_info_new_from_keyfile(), this function will return NULL. Returns: String The full path to the file for info, or NULL if not known.	Gio.DesktopAppInfo
	get_icon () : Gio.Icon Gets the icon for the application. Gets the icon for the application. Returns: Gio.Icon the default GIcon for appinfo.	Gio.AppInfo
	get_id () : String Gets the ID of an application. Gets the ID of an application. An id is a string that identifies the application. The exact format of the id is platform dependent. For instance, on Unix this is the desktop file id from the xdg menu specification. Note that the returned ID may be NULL, depending on how the appinfo has been constructed. Returns: String a string containing the application's ID.	Gio.AppInfo
	get_is_hidden () : gboolean A desktop file is hidden if the Hidden key in it is set to True. A desktop file is hidden if the Hidden key in it is set to True. Returns: gboolean TRUE if hidden, FALSE otherwise.	Gio.DesktopAppInfo
	get_name () : String Gets the installed name of the application. Gets the installed name of the application. Returns: String the name of the application for appinfo.	Gio.AppInfo
	launch (Array *files, AppLaunchContext launch_context) : gboolean Launches the application. Launches the application. Passes files* to the launched application as arguments, using the optional launch_context to get information about the details of the launcher (like what screen it is on). On error, error will be set accordingly. To launch the application without arguments pass a NULL files list. Note that even if the launch is successful the application launched can fail to start if it runs into problems during startup. There is no way to detect this. Some URIs can be changed when passed through a GFile (for instance unsupported uris with strange formats like mailto:), so if you have a textual uri you want to pass in as argument, consider using g_app_info_launch_uris() instead. On UNIX, this function sets the GIO_LAUNCHED_DESKTOP_FILE environment variable with the path of the launched desktop file and GIO_LAUNCHED_DESKTOP_FILE_PID to the process id of the launched process. This can be used to ignore GIO_LAUNCHED_DESKTOP_FILE, should it be inherited by further processes. The DISPLAY and DESKTOP_STARTUP_ID environment variables are also set, based on information provided in launch_context. Parameters: Array files Required (not null) a GList of GFile objects Gio.AppLaunchContext launch_context a GAppLaunchContext or NULL Returns: gboolean TRUE on successful launch, FALSE otherwise.	Gio.AppInfo
	launch_uris (Array *uris, AppLaunchContext launch_context) : gboolean Launches the application. Launches the application. Passes uris* to the launched application as arguments, using the optional launch_context to get information about the details of the launcher (like what screen it is on). On error, error will be set accordingly. To lauch the application without arguments pass a NULL uris list. Note that even if the launch is successful the application launched can fail to start if it runs into problems during startup. There is no way to detect this. Parameters: Array uris Required (not null) a GList containing URIs to launch. Gio.AppLaunchContext launch_context a GAppLaunchContext or NULL Returns: gboolean TRUE on successful launch, FALSE otherwise.	Gio.AppInfo
	launch_uris_as_manager (Array *uris, AppLaunchContext launch_context, SpawnFlags spawn_flags, Function user_setup, void *user_setup_data, Function pid_callback, void *pid_callback_data) : gboolean This function performs the equivalent of g_app_info_launch_uris(), but is intended primarily for operating system components that launch applications. This function performs the equivalent of g_app_info_launch_uris(), but is intended primarily for operating system components that launch applications. Ordinary applications should use g_app_info_launch_uris(). In contrast to g_app_info_launch_uris(), all processes created will always be run directly as children as if by the UNIX fork()/exec() calls. This guarantee allows additional control over the exact environment of the child processes, which is provided via a setup function semantics of the setup* function. Parameters: Array uris Required (not null) List of URIs Gio.AppLaunchContext launch_context Required (not null) a GAppLaunchContext GLib.SpawnFlags spawn_flags Required (not null) GSpawnFlags, used for each process Function (void* *user_data) : gboolean Required (not null) a GSpawnChildSetupFunc, used once for each process. void user_setup_data Required (not null) User data for user_setup Function (DesktopAppInfo *appinfo, gint32 pid, void *user_data) : gboolean Required (not null) Callback for child processes void pid_callback_data Required (not null) User data for callback Returns: gboolean	Gio.DesktopAppInfo

	set_as_last_used_for_type (String *content_type) : gboolean Sets the application as the last used application for a given type. Sets the application as the last used application for a given type. This will make the application appear as first in the list returned by g_app_info_get_recommended_for_type, regardless of the default application for that content type. Parameters: String content_type* Required (not null) the content type. Returns: gboolean TRUE on success, FALSE on error.	Gio.AppInfo
	should_show () : gboolean Checks if the application info should be shown in menus that list available applications. Checks if the application info should be shown in menus that list available applications. Returns: gboolean TRUE if the appinfo should be shown, FALSE otherwise.	Gio.AppInfo
