The file manager / launch system is a riddle to me. Everytime I touch the desktop integration, something breaks.
And it seems that there's no one knowledgeable about this part on maemo-developers (and/or I posted too much gibberish :-)), so questions like "[How] can I use %f in unzip.desktop's Exec line?" don't get answered.
I'm currently stalled for information (then again, I could check out the entire svn repository and grep -R ? *wonders*)...
However, since I just want to get the job done, if nobody answers this by a few more days, I'll just do it the hacky, complicated (and more runtime-efficient) way and write a C program that does the mime_set_cb callback dance, turning something that was a 50 line shell script and addition of two characters ("%f") in the desktop file into a 900 line C program (and I can't contribute that upstream since they'll just consider me crazy or something :-)).
Hey, at least I will (need to) have a "unzip" DBus service, too.
Weird.
cheers,
Danny
P. S.: Oh, just in case:
[How] can I use "%f" in a desktop file's "Exec" line?
