Lintian tag: desktop-mime-but-no-exec-code

Type: warning

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

The named desktop entry indicates support for at least one MIME type, but
does not provide a code like %f, %F, %u or %U in the Exec key.

If the application can in fact handle files of the given MIME types, the
menu item should somehow pass those filenames as parameters to the
executable.

Visibility: warning
Show-Always: no
Check: menu-format
