What does examples.desktop do?

What's the point of the examples.desktop file?

  • It is a location launcher. A desktop shortcut to a location.

    The contents looks something like this:

    [Desktop Entry]
    Version=1.0
    Type=Link
    Name=Examples
    Name[es]=Ejemplos
    Name[fi]=Esimerkkejä
    Name[fr]=Exemples
    Comment=Example content for Ubuntu
    Comment[es]=Contenido del ejemplo para Ubuntu
    Comment[fi]=Esimerkkisisältöjä Ubuntulle
    Comment[fr]=Contenu d'exemple pour Ubuntu
    URL=file:///usr/share/example-content/
    X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=example-content
    

    It just opens nautilus at /usr/share/example-content/

    The example content directory is a show case of open source and free culture.

    You can read more about example content here. You can learn more about .desktop files here.

  • It is a shortcut to a folder called examples.It contains Ubuntu Free Culture Showcase and Case Studies.
