How to Make an Application Entry


Application Entries tell Puppy about an binary/executable program and how to run it. They are linked for file associations.

A entries are stored in /usr/local/apps

They consist of a directory containing three files-

Appinfo.xml - information about app in xml
AppRun - script to run program
.DirIcon - image file icon for directory

These typicalcontain the following - using AbiWord as an example-

Appinfo.xml -
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<AppInfo>
  <Summary>Abiword text editor</Summary>
</AppInfo>


AppRun -
#!/bin/sh
exec abiword  "$@"


The
"S@"
typically passes document file to the app.
