GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 512011
Desktop file has deprecated items...
Last modified: 2008-08-29 12:39:26 UTC
Please describe the problem: gnumeric.desktop.in: warning: key "Encoding" in group "Desktop Entry" is deprecated gnumeric.desktop.in: error: value "gnome-gnumeric.png" for key "Icon" in group "Desktop Entry" is an icon name with an extension, but there should be no extension as described in the Icon Theme Specification if the value is not an absolute path Steps to reproduce: $ desktop-file-validation gnumeric.desktop.in Actual results: Expected results: Remove the deprecated items. Does this happen every time? Other information: The Encoding is just remove the entry. The Icon is just remove the extension (.png).
One should not that the latest example desktop file in the freedesktop standard for desktop files given at http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/apa.html includes the .png extension for the icon file. So at a minimum there is an inconsistency in the specs for the desktop file that should be resolved first.
1. Is anything actually broken now? 2. If we were to make these changes, would anything break?
1. That I know, it won't break anything in short-period time. 2. It won't break, otherwise.. it will fix for most modern desktops (gnome/kde) like Ubuntu/Kubuntu.

I believe this report can be marked as resolved.
This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
Hi! Another thing to fix.. "Encoding=UTF-8" should be replaced by "Version=1.0". It's deprecated too.. Thanks
"Encoding" was removed already. I've now added "Version=1.0" and made some other changes: http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/gnumeric?view=revision&revision=16754 The resulting gnumeric.desktop file now validates without warnings, so this report can be closed again.
