This is actually exactly what KDE does exactly. It supports both "translated system templates coming from a .desktop file" and "raw files added by the user directly there". Isn't it much simpler to let desktop files point elsewhere (like we do with .source, but this could be called anything, doesn't really have to be standardized) than the 3-step algorithm to try and match "which raw files are already taken by a desktop files and which ones are not"? > Feature #1: Negative .desktop files That's what Hidden=true is about, no need for a new way to model this. Make a local .desktop file with the same name as the global one, and put Hidden=true into it, and the system will treat it as it it didn't exist. That's the standard already for application desktop files. > Feature #2: Desktop environment specific templates.
