Create desktop entry file for Linux app launchers

[asnelling]

It'd be cool to launch scrcpy from a desktop environment's application menu. All that's needed is a scrcpy.desktop file that installs to /usr/share/applications.

See XDG Desktop Entry Specification

Even better for KDE users would be a Device action: https://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Solid/Device_Actions

Sadly this seems compromised as phones are not directly recognized as such:

$ solid-hardware details '/org/kde/solid/udev/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb1/1-4'
udi = '/org/kde/solid/udev/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb1/1-4'
  parent = '/org/kde/solid/udev'  (string)
  vendor = 'SAMSUNG'  (string)
  product = 'SAMSUNG_Android'  (string)
  description = 'SAMSUNG_Android'  (string)
  Block.major = 189  (0xbd)  (int)
  Block.minor = 13  (0xd)  (int)
  Block.device = '/dev/bus/usb/001/014'  (string)
  Camera.supportedProtocols = {'ptp'}  (string list)
  Camera.supportedDrivers = {'gphoto'}  (string list)
  PortableMediaPlayer.supportedProtocols = {'mtp'}  (string list)
  PortableMediaPlayer.supportedDrivers = {'usb'}  (string list)

Tinkering with systemd and udev I managed to start scrcpy when my phone is plugged in but it’s not as practical and sometimes fails (because scrcpy runs before adb link is ready I think)

Is there any progress about desktop entry?
