+This directory contains files for desktop integration (icons, associations, menu entries) on https://freedesktop.org/ desktops, which practically means: desktops on Linux, FreeBSD and other free software Unix.

 It is advised to build and install by executing this in the top-level view3dscene directory:

 Desktop file
+
 - Should be copied to /usr/share/applications or ~/.local/share/applications
   (for GNOME <= 2.10 (<= 2.8 on Fedora) this should be
   ~/.gnome2/vfolders/applications).
+
 - See http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apa.html
   for a list of allowed Category values.
+
 - "StartupNotify=true" can be useful for me to add to *.desktop files,
   as GTK 2 backend should automatically support this
   (http://library.gnome.org/devel/gdk/stable/gdk-General.html#gdk-notify-startup-complete).
   For now, view3dscene opens instantly fast, so it's not needed.
+
 - update-desktop-database call is needed to actually associate my program
   with MimeType specified in desktop file. (Found by looking at some Debian
   packges postinst script.)
 
 Icon file
+
 - Should be copied under /usr/share/icons/,
   most standard is /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/.
   Local user has this in ~/.local/share/icons/
   and ~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/
+
 - "48x48" is just indicated as most standard, and smaller versions will
   be generated from it. For SVG icons, I think (but didn't actually
   read this anywhere) they should go to "scalable" subdir.
+
 - Update: although on my Debian "scalable" subdir is indeed standard,
   it looks like desktop icon remains for some reason stupidly small
   (even though it's recorded in SVG file that resolution is 48x48).

   Fortunately, we can trivially easy just autogenerate PNG 48x48 version

 - Do not specify icon extension in *.desktop file.
   Algorithm for searching icons (from spec
   http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-theme-spec/icon-theme-spec-latest.html)
   makes it clear that implementation will try appending various extensions
   on it's own. Besides, as noted above, we have both SVG and PNG versions of
   the icon, so we do not know what extension to specify.
 
-Mime file
+Mime file:
+
 - Should be copied to /usr/share/mime/packages/,
   local user location is ~/.local/share/mime/packages/.
+
 - After copying you should run
     update-mime-database /usr/share/mime
   or equivalent for local user location.
+
 - Note that our mime XML file describes "model/x3d+binary", but it's
   not yet listed in our desktop file --- because we do not handle x3db yet.
