+ update-desktop-database 
+ desktop-file-validate
+ desktop-file-install
+ 
+ standard GNOME/GTK/MID HIG compliant application to open .desktop files
+ - save .desktop file
+ - change standard keywords as in the spec:
+ - name
+ - genericname
+ - comment
+ - icon
+ - exec (using xdg place holders like %f %F
+ - categories
+ - onlyshowin
+ - mimetype
+ 
+ ==== smart features: ====
+ - enter extensions to get mime type selections
+ - enter string to get matching mime type selections
+ - typing “image” in the edit box, results in a list of mime-types
+ 
+ ''...
+ image/x-icon			       ico
+ image/x-jg				 art
+ image/x-jng				jng
+ image/x-ms-bmp			    bmp
+ image/x-photoshop	          psd
+ ...''
+ 
+ - exclude, include and pattern selection to create a list of mime types. 
+ - some smart gui selection methods molecular auto addition of .desktop keys and values.
+ 
+ ==== sub application: thunar-actions-plugin-settings (optional integration in thunar) ====
+ 
+ 
+ - shows list of used .desktop files for the context menu (list of action's)
+ - open selected elements with xdg-gtk-desktop-file-manger
+ - alphabetic ordering based on environment settings
+ 
+ ==== code flow: ====
+ 
+ note: needs more documentation, creation of flow diagrams to get a clear structure of the code flow.
