XDG Application Launcher

This program reads the .menu file compliant with the XDG Menu Specification and the .directory and .desktop files conformant with the XDG Desktop Entry specifications to construct a swipeview with multiple pages. Each desktop entry is represented with an icon and text laid out on a page within the swipeview. The .directory entries support an extension called X-Background-Image, which specifies the background image used on that menu.

Although the code reads and writes the XDG files, it does not allow the user to navigate into child menu entries in the Menu document hierarchy.

Build

qmake6
make

Run

Because the files are stored locally, you need to set the XDG_DATA_HOME environment variable in order for the application to find the home.menu and all of it's referenced children.

XDG_DATA_HOME=$(pwd)/etc ./xdg-app-launcher
