Addtional .desktop file folders #138

Closed ItsProfessional closed 1 year ago

It would be nice to have an option to include .desktop files from other directories (specified as a argument to j4-dmenu-desktop). For example, flatpak stores the .desktop files of programs in /var/lib/flatpak/exports/share/applications, which is not a directory that j4-dmenu-desktop looks in for .desktop files. As a result, programs installed using flatpak do not show up in the menu.

An option to include additional directories would fix this issue.

Nevermind, I took a peek at the source and it just uses the XDG_DATA_DIRS variable
