Constructor & Destructor Documentation

KDesktopFile::KDesktopFile ( const char *  resourceType,
const QString &  fileName 
)
explicit

Constructs a KDesktopFile object.

See KStandardDirs for more information on resources.

Parameters
resourceTypeAllows you to change what sort of resource to search for if fileName is not absolute. For instance, you might want to specify "config".
fileNameThe name or path of the desktop file. If it is not absolute, it will be located using the resource type resType.

Definition at line 53 of file kdesktopfile.cpp.

KDesktopFile::KDesktopFile ( const QString &  fileName)
explicit

Constructs a KDesktopFile object.

See KStandardDirs for more information on resources.

Parameters
fileNameThe name or path of the desktop file. If it is not absolute, it will be located using the resource type "apps"

Definition at line 61 of file kdesktopfile.cpp.

KDesktopFile::~KDesktopFile ( )
virtual

Destructs the KDesktopFile object.

Writes back any dirty configuration entries.

Definition at line 69 of file kdesktopfile.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

KConfigGroup KDesktopFile::actionGroup ( const QString &  group)

Sets the desktop action group.

Parameters
groupthe new action group

Definition at line 247 of file kdesktopfile.cpp.

const KConfigGroup KDesktopFile::actionGroup ( const QString &  group) const

Definition at line 252 of file kdesktopfile.cpp.

KDesktopFile * KDesktopFile::copyTo ( const QString &  file) const

Copies all entries from this config object to a new KDesktopFile object that will save itself to file.

Actual saving to file happens when the returned object is destructed or when sync() is called upon it.

Parameters
filethe new KDesktopFile object it will save itself to.

Definition at line 372 of file kdesktopfile.cpp.

KConfigGroup KDesktopFile::desktopGroup ( ) const

Definition at line 73 of file kdesktopfile.cpp.

QString KDesktopFile::fileName ( ) const

Definition at line 386 of file kdesktopfile.cpp.

bool KDesktopFile::hasActionGroup ( const QString &  group) const

Returns true if the action group exists, false otherwise.

Parameters
groupthe action group to test
Returns
true if the action group exists

Definition at line 257 of file kdesktopfile.cpp.

bool KDesktopFile::hasApplicationType ( ) const

Checks whether there is an entry "Type=Application".

Returns
true if there is a "Type=Application" entry

Definition at line 267 of file kdesktopfile.cpp.

bool KDesktopFile::hasDeviceType ( ) const

Checks whether there is an entry "Type=FSDevice".

Returns
true if there is a "Type=FSDevice" entry

Definition at line 277 of file kdesktopfile.cpp.

bool KDesktopFile::hasLinkType ( ) const

Checks whether there is a "Type=Link" entry.

The link points to the "URL=" entry.

Returns
true if there is a "Type=Link" entry

Definition at line 262 of file kdesktopfile.cpp.

bool KDesktopFile::hasMimeTypeType ( ) const

Checks whether there is an entry "Type=MimeType".

Returns
true if there is a "Type=MimeType" entry

Definition at line 272 of file kdesktopfile.cpp.

bool KDesktopFile::isAuthorizedDesktopFile ( const QString &  path)
static

Checks whether the user is authorized to run this desktop file.

By default users are authorized to run all desktop files but the KIOSK framework can be used to activate certain restrictions. See README.kiosk for more information.

Note: Since KDE 4.3, there are more restrictions on authorized desktop files to prevent users from inadvertently running trojan desktop files. Your application launchers should have the executable bit set to prevent issues. To see if a restriction is due to KIOSK, see KAuthorized.

Parameters
paththe file to check
Returns
true if the user is authorized to run the file

Definition at line 137 of file kdesktopfile.cpp.

bool KDesktopFile::isDesktopFile ( const QString &  path)
static

Checks whether this is really a desktop file.

The check is performed looking at the file extension (the file is not opened). Currently, the only valid extension is ".desktop".

Parameters
paththe path of the file to check
Returns
true if the file appears to be a desktop file.

Definition at line 131 of file kdesktopfile.cpp.

QString KDesktopFile::locateLocal ( const QString &  path)
static

Returns the location where changes for the .desktop file path should be written to.

Definition at line 79 of file kdesktopfile.cpp.

bool KDesktopFile::noDisplay ( ) const

Whether the entry should be suppressed in menus.

This handles the NoDisplay key, but also OnlyShowIn / NotShowIn.

Returns
true to suppress this service
