Summary0003241: Desktop entry (Doomseeker.desktop) doesn't follow the "reverse DNS" naming convention of Desktop Entry Specification
DescriptionI propose Doomseeker.desktop should be named org.drdteam.Doomseeker.desktop instead, to be in comformance of the desktop entry specification?
Steps To Reproduce

  1. wget'http://doomseeker.drdteam.org/files/doomseeker-1.1_src.tar.bz2 [^]' # Retrieves the source archive

  2. tar xvfj doomseeker-1.1_src.tar.bz2 # Extracts the archive

  3. ls media/Doomseeker.desktop # Lists the desktop entry on disk



It is also installed to /usr/share/applications/Doomseeker.desktop.
Additional Information'https://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ar01s02.html [^]'

I don't personally know of any applications which use the reverse DNS naming convention. All I have in /usr/share/applications/ is <package>.desktop.

Likewise on my system the only applications that follow the convention seem to be KDE's, but I suppose there's no reason not to follow it so done:'https://bitbucket.org/Doomseeker/doomseeker/commits/5e11eda408b05cfd5840f11fa547cf16f4213322 [^]'

Works fine with my test in Xubuntu 16.04.3 LTS LiveCD (after the initial hurdle of setting CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to /usr as a workaround to another issue), created a copy to the desktop. Verified it's installed correctly too with reverse DNS name.
