DesktopAppInfo

gio.desktop_app_info.DesktopAppInfo is an implementation of gio.app_info.AppInfo based on desktop files.

Note that <gio/gdesktopappinfo.h> belongs to the UNIX-specific GIO interfaces, thus you have to use the gio-unix-2.0.pc pkg-config file or the GioUnix-2.0 GIR namespace when using it.

Functions

getActionName string getActionName(string actionName): Gets the user-visible display name of the "additional application action" specified by action_name.
getBoolean bool getBoolean(string key): Looks up a boolean value in the keyfile backing info.
getCategories string getCategories(): Gets the categories from the desktop file.
getFilename string getFilename(): When info was created from a known filename, return it. In some situations such as the #GDesktopAppInfo returned from gio.desktop_app_info.DesktopAppInfo.newFromKeyfile, this function will return null.
getGenericName string getGenericName(): Gets the generic name from the desktop file.
getIsHidden bool getIsHidden(): A desktop file is hidden if the Hidden key in it is set to True.

getLocaleString string getLocaleString(string key): Looks up a localized string value in the keyfile backing info translated to the current locale.
getNodisplay bool getNodisplay(): Gets the value of the NoDisplay key, which helps determine if the application info should be shown in menus. See G_KEY_FILE_DESKTOP_KEY_NO_DISPLAY and gio.app_info.AppInfo.shouldShow.
getShowIn bool getShowIn(string desktopEnv): Checks if the application info should be shown in menus that list available applications for a specific name of the desktop, based on the OnlyShowIn and NotShowIn keys.
getStartupWmClass string getStartupWmClass(): Retrieves the StartupWMClass field from info. This represents the WM_CLASS property of the main window of the application, if launched through info.
getString string getString(string key): Looks up a string value in the keyfile backing info.
getStringList string[] getStringList(string key): Looks up a string list value in the keyfile backing info.
hasKey bool hasKey(string key): Returns whether key exists in the "Desktop Entry" group of the keyfile backing info.

dup gio.app_info.AppInfo dup(): Creates a duplicate of a #GAppInfo.
equal bool equal(gio.app_info.AppInfo appinfo2): Checks if two #GAppInfos are equal.
getCommandline string getCommandline(): Gets the commandline with which the application will be started.
getDescription string getDescription(): Gets a human-readable description of an installed application.
getDisplayName string getDisplayName(): Gets the display name of the application. The display name is often more descriptive to the user than the name itself.
getExecutable string getExecutable(): Gets the executable's name for the installed application.
getIcon gio.icon.Icon getIcon(): Gets the icon for the application.
getId string getId(): Gets the ID of an application. An id is a string that identifies the application. The exact format of the id is platform dependent. For instance, on Unix this is the desktop file id from the xdg menu specification.
getName string getName(): Gets the installed name of the application.
getSupportedTypes string[] getSupportedTypes(): Retrieves the list of content types that app_info claims to support. If this information is not provided by the environment, this function will return null. This function does not take in consideration associations added with gio.app_info.AppInfo.addSupportsType, but only those exported directly by the application.
launch bool launch(gio.file.File[] files, gio.app_launch_context.AppLaunchContext context): Launches the application. Passes files to the launched application as arguments, using the optional context to get information about the details of the launcher (like what screen it is on). On error, error will be set accordingly.

cPtr void* cPtr(Flag!"Dup" dup): Get a pointer to the underlying C object.
ref_ void* ref_(void* gObj): Calls g_object_ref() on a GObject.
unref unref(void* gObj): Calls g_object_unref() on a GObject.
getType GType getType(): Get the GType of an object.
gType GType gType [@property getter]: GObject GType property.
self ObjectG self(): Convenience method to return this cast to a type. For use in D with statements.
getDObject T getDObject(void* cptr, Flag!"Take" take): Template to get the D object from a C GObject and cast it to the given D object type.
connectSignalClosure ulong connectSignalClosure(string signalDetail, DClosure closure, Flag!"After" after): Connect a D closure to an object signal.
setProperty void setProperty(string propertyName, T val): Template for setting a GObject property.
getProperty T getProperty(string propertyName): Template for getting a GObject property.
compatControl size_t compatControl(size_t what, void* data)
bindProperty gobject.binding.Binding bindProperty(string sourceProperty, gobject.object.ObjectG target, string targetProperty, gobject.types.BindingFlags flags): Creates a binding between source_property on source and target_property on target.
bindPropertyFull gobject.binding.Binding bindPropertyFull(string sourceProperty, gobject.object.ObjectG target, string targetProperty, gobject.types.BindingFlags flags, gobject.closure.Closure transformTo, gobject.closure.Closure transformFrom): Creates a binding between source_property on source and target_property on target, allowing you to set the transformation functions to be used by the binding.
forceFloating void forceFloating(): This function is intended for #GObject implementations to re-enforce a floating[floating-ref] object reference. Doing this is seldom required: all #GInitiallyUnowneds are created with a floating reference which usually just needs to be sunken by calling gobject.object.ObjectG.refSink.
freezeNotify void freezeNotify(): Increases the freeze count on object. If the freeze count is non-zero, the emission of "notify" signals on object is stopped. The signals are queued until the freeze count is decreased to zero. Duplicate notifications are squashed so that at most one #GObject::notify signal is emitted for each property modified while the object is frozen.
getData void* getData(string key): Gets a named field from the objects table of associations (see gobject.object.ObjectG.setData).
getProperty void getProperty(string propertyName, gobject.value.Value value): Gets a property of an object.
getQdata void* getQdata(glib.types.Quark quark): This function gets back user data pointers stored via gobject.object.ObjectG.setQdata.
getv void getv(string[] names, gobject.value.Value[] values): Gets n_properties properties for an object. Obtained properties will be set to values. All properties must be valid. Warnings will be emitted and undefined behaviour may result if invalid properties are passed in.
isFloating bool isFloating(): Checks whether object has a floating[floating-ref] reference.
notify void notify(string propertyName): Emits a "notify" signal for the property property_name on object.
notifyByPspec void notifyByPspec(gobject.param_spec.ParamSpec pspec): Emits a "notify" signal for the property specified by pspec on object.
refSink gobject.object.ObjectG refSink(): Increase the reference count of object, and possibly remove the floating[floating-ref] reference, if object has a floating reference.
runDispose void runDispose(): Releases all references to other objects. This can be used to break reference cycles.
setData void setData(string key, void* data): Each object carries around a table of associations from strings to pointers. This function lets you set an association.
setProperty void setProperty(string propertyName, gobject.value.Value value): Sets a property on an object.
stealData void* stealData(string key): Remove a specified datum from the object's data associations, without invoking the association's destroy handler.
stealQdata void* stealQdata(glib.types.Quark quark): This function gets back user data pointers stored via gobject.object.ObjectG.setQdata and removes the data from object without invoking its destroy() function (if any was set). Usually, calling this function is only required to update user data pointers with a destroy notifier, for example:
thawNotify void thawNotify(): Reverts the effect of a previous call to gobject.object.ObjectG.freezeNotify. The freeze count is decreased on object and when it reaches zero, queued "notify" signals are emitted.
watchClosure void watchClosure(gobject.closure.Closure closure): This function essentially limits the life time of the closure to the life time of the object. That is, when the object is finalized, the closure is invalidated by calling gobject.closure.Closure.invalidate on it, in order to prevent invocations of the closure with a finalized (nonexisting) object. Also, gobject.object.ObjectG.ref_ and gobject.object.ObjectG.unref are added as marshal guards to the closure, to ensure that an extra reference count is held on object during invocation of the closure. Usually, this function will be called on closures that use this object as closure data.
connectNotify ulong connectNotify(string detail, T callback, Flag!"After" after): Connect to Notify signal.
