Properties​

desktopActions?​

optional desktopActions?: {[ActionName: string]: any; } | null

[Desktop Actions <ActionName>] metadata entries (name to value).

An action name must not contain [, ] or control characters. Its keys and values follow the rules of entry.

Config Example:

desktopActions: {
   NewWindow: {
      Name: 'New Window',
      Exec: 'app --new-window',
   }
}

entry?​

optional entry?: {[k: string]: string; } | null

[Desktop Entry] metadata entries (name to value). Overwrites default values calculated by electron-builder

Keys and values are written as given. A key must not be empty or contain = or a line break, and brackets are only allowed around a trailing locale of letters, digits, -, _, . and @, right after the key, such as Name[de]. A value must be on one line: a line break inside a value fails the build (write a newline in a string value as \n), and line breaks at its end are dropped.
