Thanks for opening an issue. I have not worked on FreeBSD but are Desktop Entries (.desktop) supported?

[larham]

I found a document about a tool for installing .desktop on freebsd Is that related?

[roniemartinez]

What I mean is that if FreeBSD uses the same method as Linux does?

In Linux, whenever you install an application, it creates a .desktop file (e.g. firefox.desktop) which contains the app information including where the executables are located. This only applies to desktop Linux.

[larham]

Sorry, I'm ignorant of desktop mode on both linux and freebsd.

Is there a small investigative step I can perform to help you understand the answer to your question?

[roniemartinez]

That's alright. Can you check if any of these directories contain .desktop files?

[larham]

apparently not:

ls: ~/.local/share/applications: No such file or directory
ls: /usr/share/applications: No such file or directory
ls: /var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications: No such file or directory

as a shared server at a hosting company, I'd expect server-only style, headless executables

[roniemartinez]

Thanks! I will have to try FreeBSD to add support.
