Hi,

digiKam uses .desktop files to describe how to "open with" external
applications. We need the contents of a new .desktop file to deal with
Affinity Pixel.

.desktop files are simple INI text file with keys,properties.

Please provide one sample to int=C3=A9grate to digiKam for your use cases.

Thanks in advance

Gilles Caulier
