Is the trailing ";" optional? It doesn't seem natural to have it here.
Also should we use a more common list separator for Go developers and convert it where required for the output?
?Perhaps even making it a toml list instead of string?

I don't know if it technically is required but the official documentation uses it.

A TOML list sounds like a great idea :)

By using FDo formatting you still require folk to understand the spec - which we should avoid if possible just like how naming avoids it.

Indeed but I've switched to TOML lists now so it should no longer be an issue.

If we make it "Linux,BSD" or "Linux&BSD" it will be machine parsable if we decide to match go's approach to this logic :).

I tried that but it does not seem to be supported. I tried +, ,, and & before opening this PR but neither seem to be supported.

What is generic name, and how often should it differ from the Name specified in the details section above?

For Rymdport, I have "File Transfer" as GenericName. Just like Firefox has "Web Browser". I hope that helps.

Ah yea thanks. I guess maybe it should be "demo app" or "developer tools" so it's clearer why they are different in this example?

That's a good point. I'll get that fixed

Perhaps "Toolkit Demo" even?

Thanks. This is going to make the release binaries in Geoffrey so much nicer for Rymdport's users :) |

The documentation for custom metadata fields needs to be added to https://docs.fyne.io/started/metadata.html |
Please open an issue for that instead of commenting on a PR that was merged a year ago. |
Description:
This PR adds support for specifying custom metadata fields for Linux and BSD. It is currently hooked up to provide support for adding
GenericName,Categories,Comment, andKeywordsto the desktop files. These fields are the ones that I had to specify manually in io.github.jacalz.rymdport.desktop for Flatpak packaging to be accepted.Checklist:
