As referred to here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/desktop_entries#Hide_desktop_entries

I would love for this to work as there are so many useless icons showing up in my newly installed Arch installation. (I'm pretty sure most people wouldn't be interested in seeing "Avahi SSH Server Browser", "Qt V4L2 test Utility", etc...)

I was unaware that the feature existed. Thanks for the info. I'll try to add it to the .desktop files parsing as soon as I'm back from vacation.

I'd be grateful for feedback. As you seem to use Arch, you may simply install nwg-launchers-git.

Thanks, the update works great!
I think I may have found another bug not related to this tough, I'll post a new issue.
