Support for .desktop file's actions on Linux

[i1u5]

• Version: 22.4.1

• Electron Version: 8.2.0
• Electron Type (current, beta, nightly): current

• Target: Linux

Support for Desktop Actions would be nice, which works like this :

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=Foo Viewer
Comment=The best viewer for Foo objects available!
TryExec=fooview
Exec=fooview %F
Icon=fooview
MimeType=image/x-foo;
Actions=Gallery;Create;

[Desktop Action Gallery]
Exec=fooview --gallery
Name=Browse Gallery

[Desktop Action Create]
Exec=fooview --create-new
Name=Create a new Foo!
Icon=fooview-new

[stale]

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs.

I'm also interested in this. Are there any plans to add support for launcher actions in the linux desktop file?

Being able to specify a *.desktop file in the linux config would be awesome. Adding custom actions as a string via the desktop config key does work, but is pretty messy IMO
