* The Desktop startup directory The directory $(libdir)/mc/desktop-scripts is a place holder for information on how to configure the default's user desktop. There are a number of files that can be installed in this directory: * Link definition files: These files are used to create links to web and ftp sites on the user's desktop. * Executables: Programs or links to programs that will be executed when the user requests a directory rescan. * Link definition file format The file should contain an ini-like file whose contents are as follows: [linkname] title=Title in english title[pt_BR]=Título em inglês title[NN]=Title in language NN type=url url=some-url The linkname is the name of the file that will be created in the user's desktop directory. title is the caption that will be used by this file. This can be localized by providing one or more title[NN] entries, where NN is the setting that would be set by the user for the NN locale. * Executables Executable programs will be executed like this: program --desktop-dir=DESKTOPDIR Where DESKTOPDIR is the user's desktop directory. The program can then populate the directory with any information it might want. This is used for example by the g-print program (that provides priting facilities by creating special desktop entries that set up the drop action and varios different open actions)
