Dear All,
We developed a block device driver for Flash Media Cards like SD (Secure Digital), MMC and Memory Stick under Fedora Core 3 with 2.6.9-1.667 kernel version. It is working fine. At the same time we want to display an icon on the user’s Desktop whenever a user inserts a Flash Media Card into a PCMCIA slot. In SuSE, we used the following Desktop Entry file in the corresponding user’s desktop directory.
[Desktop Entry] Name=TI Flash Media Disk0 Comment=TI Flash Media Disk Drive0 Name[en_US.ISO8859-1]=TI Flash Media Disk0 Comment[en_US.ISO8859-1]=TI Flash Media Disk Drive0 Exec=konqueror Dev=/dev/tfa0 Encoding=UTF-8 Icon=tifmdisk_mount ReadOnly=false Type=FSDevice UnmountIcon=tifmdisk_unmount X-KDE-Priority=TopLevel
Whenever user inserts a Flash Media Card we placed this *.desktop entry file in his Desktop directory with the help of a Daemon process. Using this method it works fine in SuSE.
I read an article regarding Desktop Entry File in the following link and I modified the above [Desktop Entry] as http://www.gnome.org/learn/admin-guide/latest/ch02s04.html
[Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Name=TI Flash Media Disk0 Comment=TI Flash Media Disk Drive0 Exec=File Browser Dev=/dev/tfa0 Icon=tifmdisk_mount Terminal=true Type=link UnmountIcon=tifmdisk_unmount
I placed this Desktop Entry File in the /usr/share/apps/kdesktop/DesktopLinks directory. Even though, I am unable to place an icon as soon as user inserts a flash media card into the slot.
How can I write a Desktop Entry file in Fedora Core 3? I am using FC3 with 2.6.9-1.667 kernel version. Where can I place this entry I mean in which directory under /usr/share?
Any idea is most welcome. Thanks in advance. Regards, Srinivas G
