Mint's .desktop files include every language

dbaser · 2025-08-03 05:09:43

My locale settings seem ok so I'm just wondering. Is it normal for the system's pre-installed .desktop files in '/usr/share/applications/' to include every language variation for the Name, GenericName, Comment, and Keywords fields?

For example, this is what 'thunar.desktop' looks like:

This is normal as far as I know. Your settings will determine how it's read and what language to display.

This is normal as far as I know. Your settings will determine how it's read and what language to display.

Why wouldn't it source the locale and delete all the lines that aren't "EN-CA?" Do people do this themselves? I hate the default messy .desktop files with all these unnecessary lines. If this is the case, I'll write a bash script to deal with it, but WHY is this the case?

Because it's part of the freedesktop standard that has been adopted by most Linux desktop environments.

You will have to use your script every time .desktop files are updated, because they will be "messy" again. smile

Realistically how often do you need to look at them?

gogogadget · 2025-08-04 21:28:51

I guess every time you update your system/packages. I've read that if you don't shut down your computer, by default the Linux Mint system check for updates every 5 days.

I'm somewhat new to Linux and I'm still trying to learn how everything "fits together" so I'm doing lots of customization.

I guess normally people don't look at .desktop files too much.

Thanks for the info, this is another good custom project anyway. I guess I'll create a service for the script to run or a cron job.

Got it. Do you know why freedesktop doesn't source the user's locale and only include their language? It just seems weird that it wouldn't.

Thanks for the info!

In case anyone is interested, this is the script I wrote to convert my .desktop files (script is in Python):

# dot-desktop-file-formatter.py

import sys
import traceback
from pathlib import Path

try:

    home          = Path.home()
    input_file    = Path(sys.argv[1])
    output_file   = Path((input_file.parent).joinpath(input_file.stem + "_FIXED" + input_file.suffix))
    lines_to_keep = []

    with open(input_file, 'r') as lines:
        for line in lines:
            if line.startswith(("Name[", "Comment[", "GenericName[", "Keywords[")):
                continue
            else:
                lines_to_keep.append(line)

    if lines_to_keep:
        with open(output_file, 'w') as nf:
            for line in lines_to_keep:
                nf.write(line)

except IndexError:
    print("Usage:\n$ python3 dot-desktop-file-formatter.py PATH-TO-FILE\n")
