I don't mind spending some minutes if this makes your work easier (and improves the launcher).

BTW, there is a
.desktop format specification. It's used in Linux distributions for describing program items which, for example, could be launched in desktop environment. It's a simple INI-like format supporting
many useful declarations like icon property, list of categories for fitting program into hierarchical menu,
localization etc. This format provides
extensibility. There is also
Desktop Menu specification to define how menu is constructed from directories with .desktop files.
This is certainly a bit complicated for current situation, but if there will be movement to discard legacy Yifan Lu's format it'd be nice to adopt existing standard.
