OK, I have done that. This is for a service menu item? correct? Or, perhaps I still don't know exactly what you want to do.On Tue, 06 Jul 2004 19:18:13 -0700, James Richard Tyrer <tyrerj@xxxxxxx> wrote:

Hello,
I created an icon in a folder within KDE. I named it foobar. I gave it an exec command line. However, I want it to be something like Exec=rdesktop -g 1280x1024 $0 where $0 is the name of the icon, foobar, like in shell. How can I do this? Come to think of it, I could have it invoke a single shell script and do my magic there but I guess it would be nice to know if there are special variables for this type of function available.
IIUC, $0 would give you rdesktop. If that is what you want, use %i
Otherwise:
Exec=rdesktop -g 1280x1024 --icon <icon>
or
Exec=rdesktop -g 1280x1024 -- --icon <icon>
-- JRT
I don't want to set the icon or the name of it, i just want to read it. For example, I created a new 'Link to Application'. I right clicked this and did a rename and named it to 'foobar'. I right click on it again and go to properties. I click on the application tab. In the command box, I want to put something like: rdesktop -g 1280x1024 <SOMETHING> where <SOMETHING> is a special variable that contains the name of the object, in this case, 'foobar'. :)
Handy hint: the service menus are in:
$HOME/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus
You might want to look at some of them.
You use: %f for a service menu 'desktop' file. At least this one that I created works:
------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8< [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 ServiceTypes=all/allfiles Actions=bzip2_file
[Desktop Action bzip2_file] Name=Create Bzip2 File Icon=zip Exec=bzip2 %f
------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<
-- JRT
