@elextr this is orthogonal to the issue at hand, but: * Yes, I think it's now the preferred naming scheme; * However, I don't know if it actually has any advantage (I though at a time it helped with startup notification, but tests I made a while back suggests it does not); * I know downsides to changing a .desktop file name (dead links, duplicated entries if people copied over the file, and whatnot). So… yeah if we'd start over, I'd use the reverse-DNS scheme, but I don't think we should change the name we use unless we really know *why*. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
