Description rephorm 2012-04-26 21:58:36 UTC

For a generic desktop environment, the Exec entry of a .desktop file is not properly parsed, and only the first word is used. Any options or field codes (e.g. %u) are ignored. This breaks app launching if command line options are required and is not compliant with the specification.

"%i" and "%c" field codes handling

1.1.0 version has some handling for "%f", "%F", "%u", "%U" field codes.  Proposed patch adds handling for "%i" and "%c" field codes necesary for some .desktop files from kde4 (for example: "Exec=okular %U %i -caption %c").

I'll try to give it a quick look over soon and commit.
