Gio.DesktopAppInfo.new

function new(desktop_id: String): Gio.DesktopAppInfo {
    // Gjs wrapper for g_desktop_app_info_new()
}
  

Creates a new Gio.DesktopAppInfo based on a desktop file id.

A desktop file id is the basename of the desktop file, including the .desktop extension. GIO is looking for a desktop file with this name in the `applications` subdirectories of the XDG data directories (i.e. the directories specified in the `XDG_DATA_HOME` and `XDG_DATA_DIRS` environment variables). GIO also supports the prefix-to-subdirectory mapping that is described in the [Menu Spec](http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/) (i.e. a desktop id of kde-foo.desktop will match `/usr/share/applications/kde/foo.desktop`).
