Constructor & Destructor Documentation

KDesktopFile::KDesktopFile const QString fileName,
bool  readOnly = false,
const char *  resType = "apps"
 

Constructs a KDesktopFile object and make it either read-write or read-only.

Parameters:
fileName The name or path of the desktop file. If it is not absolute, it will be located using the resource type resType.
readOnly Whether the object should be read-only.
resType Allows you to change what sort of resource to search for if fileName is not absolute. For instance, you might want to specify "config".

Returns:
true if the file appears to be a desktop file.
