[03:01] <mpt> tedg, around?
[03:02] <tedg> mpt: Of course!
[03:02] <tedg> I await your ping!
[03:02] <mpt> good boy
[03:03] <mpt> tedg, why is ~/.config/indicators/messages/applications-blacklist/whatever a text file containing the pathname of a .desktop file, rather than an actual symlink to that .desktop file?
[03:03] <tedg> mpt: Mosty because I figured we'd have to put more data in it at some point.
[03:03] <mpt> ok, that makes sense
[03:04] <tedg> mpt: Probably should have made a GKeyFile or something, but, eh?
[03:04] <mpt> I don't know what that is, but this smells like a job for xattrs :-)
[03:04] <mpt> doesn't really matter
[03:05] <tedg> I think everything should be XML.  People love XML.  It's hip.
[03:06] <tedg> Honestly though, after using the json-glib I'd probably consider using JSON for more things.  It's very flexible and pretty simple to write.
[03:43] <mpt> tedg, so perhaps the per-app custom actions should be defined in that same file?
[03:44] <mpt> probably they would map to command lines
[03:44] <tedg> mpt: Yes.  Perhaps.  It also makes sense at some level to put it in the .desktop file.
