added option "--empty-categories-exec | --ece" to show if the variable "Categories=" is empty but .desktop file contains Exec=.

updated help sections, fixed a "bug", "renamed" options: '--sce' = '--c' , '--smc' = '--mc' to see all options with their alternatives found in lsdesktopf code use command: lsdesktopf --sm beta

Tip to sort by name icons to get overview of which of the programs are using same icons: lsdesktopf --d | sort -t '#' -k 2,2 | less -R

added option --description or short --d that will only list content by pattern Name # Icon # Comment # FILENAME it is searching even in .directory files, will show result only if all of the options are available in the file. And I have also added for some options to search in .directory files and not only in .desktop The option "--less" is replaced with "--list" but it still can be used.

I am testing programs and it is irritating when after update it creates autostart files again. I don't know how useful it is but I have added "--tn" or "--to-null" that will disable autostart by creating symlinks to "/dev/null" in "$HOME/.config/autostart" for files in "/etc/xdg/autostart/" . It also making some safety checks such as if /dev/null exist, if not the it will show command that can be used to create it. Creating automatically destination directory "$HOME/.config/autostart" if it isn't existing Here is a simple oneliner: for i in /etc/xdg/autostart/*;do ln -s /dev/null "$HOME/.config/autostart/${i//*\//}";done

added options for searching only in "Category" --show-more-category | --smc [text] - similar output to --more --show-categories-exec | --sce [text] (sf) searching only for categories. showing result by one line per exec found in a single file. use "sf" as the last option to show filename option --lc moved into --help ctg for more info use --help ctg

updated options --fp --fpo --fpe --fpoe now it can use multiple path but cannot add ";" to the end of each directory lsdesktopf --fpoe /usr/share/applications/ /etc/xdg to add a something to the end of line you can use: sed 's/$/;/'

Tip for showing of all base options. I am trying to make it simply and putting all options that are in "case ... esac" tags close to begin of lines so it makes it easier to see them. It can be also some "beta" options that are currently are not described in --help ./lsdesktopf --sm | grep ^\-\-

Here is the best example of checking which of folders are currently used # populate the variable DESKTOP_FILES export DESKTOP_FILES=$(lsdesktopf --fpoe /usr/share/applications/) # show default directories lsdesktopf --sdd
