Make emacsclient handle org-protocol:// links Org mode provides a way to quickly capture bookmarks, notes, and links using emacsclient: emacsclient "org-protocol://store-link?url=URL&title=TITLE" * etc/emacsclient.desktop: Make Emacs the default application for org-protocol.

Fix quoted argument in emacsclient-mail.desktop Exec key Apparently the emacsclient-mail.desktop file doesn't conform to the Desktop Entry Specification at https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html#exec-variables which says about the Exec key: \| Field codes must not be used inside a quoted argument, the result of \| field code expansion inside a quoted argument is undefined. However, the %u field code is used inside a quoted argument of the Exec key in both the [Desktop Entry] and [Desktop Action new-window] sections. * etc/emacsclient-mail.desktop (Exec): The Desktop Entry Specification does not allow field codes like %u inside a quoted argument. Work around it by passing %u as first parameter ($1) to the shell wrapper. * etc/emacsclient.desktop (Exec): Use `sh` rather than `placeholder` as the command name of the shell wrapper.

Advertise support for Startup Notification when built with GTK * etc/emacsclient.desktop, etc/emacsclient.desktop: Specify StartupNotify=true. * configure.ac (USE_STARTUP_NOTIFICATION): New variable, yes iff HAVE_GTK. * Makefile.in (install-etc): Remove StartupNotify=true from etc/*.desktop unless USE_STARTUP_NOTIFICATION (bug#48783). 2021-06-22 13:17:28 +00:00			`StartupNotify=true`
Revert more of a partially reverted emacsclient.desktop patch * etc/emacsclient.desktop: Undo setting of StartupWMClass=Emacsd, since this relies on a change to etc/emacs.service which was also undone.

Drop redundant keywords in .desktop files. The Freedesktop.org Desktop Entry spec says, “The values [of Keywords]… should not be redundant with the values of Name or GenericName”. * etc/emacs.desktop, etc/emacsclient.desktop (Keywords): Remove keywords that are duplicated from the GenericName field. 2021-07-10 11:01:57 +00:00			`Keywords=emacsclient;`
