The current example at http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/apa.html contains an error: the Icon= tag can't have the image extension Despite that, according to current desktop-file-validate, it's all right.
Bastian, do you look after the specs on standards.freedesktop.org?
Via other correspondence... Yes, the reporter is right, unfortunately I don't have time to fix it, sorry. Cheers, Waldo Intel Corporation - Platform Software Engineering, UMG - Hillsboro, Oregon
Thanks for the report, all fixed (Vincent Can you please let me know the most recent version of all spec and I'll update any others which are out of date).
Benjamin: I think I might have the rights to do updates now (I asked them in the past). I'll check if there are any other changes that are important before getting a new version of the spec out. Thanks!
Hrm. Looking back at this: did you edit the 1.0 versions of the spec? It's probably a bad idea to modify the files after they were released. I'd much better prefer to get an updated from cvs HEAD version, even if it's not released yet. The repository is menus/desktop-entry-spec
Hi Vincent, There's a file /srv/specifications.freedesktop.org/www/specs.idx which contains line below. I simply updated the relevant line to 1.34 (from 1.28 from memory) and ran the update script. I believe this pulls it from the cvs repo anyway. I made no changes to cvs. basedir/basedir-spec/basedir-spec.xml 1.3 0.6 basedir-spec basedir/basedir-spec/basedir-spec.xml 1.1.2.1 0.5 basedir-spec icccm-extensions/wm-spec/wm-spec.xml 1.28 1.4 wm-spec icccm-extensions/wm-spec/wm-spec.xml 1.19 1.3 wm-spec menus/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec.xml 1.34 1.0 desktop-entry-spec menus/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec.xml 1.19 0.9.8 desktop-entry-spec menus/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec.xml 1.18 0.9.7 desktop-entry-spec menus/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec.xml 1.15 0.9.6 desktop-entry-spec menus/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec.xml 1.10 0.9.5 desktop-entry-spec menus/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec.xml 1.9 0.9.4 desktop-entry-spec menus/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec.xml 1.1.2.1 0.9.3 desktop-entry-spec

I'd prefer to have a "most recent" release which would get the latest cvs version and keep the 1.0 version as is. I went ahead and did the relevant change for this. We now have a 1.1 version (which is still a draft). Hrm, when running update.py, I got a few "Permission denied" errors. Seems to have work, but we have a mess with the permissions :/ I'll open a bug for this.
