XDG desktop file contains obsolete and deprecated items

[jonassmedegaard]

The file assets/himalaya.desktop contains an obsolete field DesktopName and a deprecated item Application in field Categories.

Here's a fix:

--- a/assets/himalaya.desktop
+++ b/assets/himalaya.desktop
@@ -1,12 +1,11 @@
 [Desktop Entry]

$ desktop-file-validate himalaya.desktop 
himalaya.desktop: error: file contains key "DesktopName" in group "Desktop Entry", but keys extending the format should start with "X-"
himalaya.desktop: warning: value "Application;Network" for key "Categories" in group "Desktop Entry" contains a deprecated value "Application"

Nice catch. But I'm wondering if the file has still a place in v2, since composition and reading moved away. It could be a template tho, so users can create their own.
