mlauncher's Issues

Missing Features, Application to run Executables.

Hi, Nice application. I have been using DFC for many years, nice to have a refresher UI. There are two things this need.

1. Option for Executable command should be there before Application Path .
   I used mlauncher to create a desktop file for a wine application. Upon clicking the icon, it showed error message. Then Looking in the desktop file code, I found that EXEC= contains only the path of the executable, not the executable command. I prefixed it with WINE and it worked fine.
2. Missing options to add keywords and other stuffs. They are usefull in filtering and searching.

I would suggest you to take a look at DFC ( Not my code, I imported to my account because Google code is closing ) . UI is dated but it has all the features I have seen in any .desktop file. Your refreshed UI and DFC's features will make a killing application.
