Updates desktop shell and application code for cross-Qt compatibility: uses begin/endFilterChange for Qt 6.10+, gates LayerShell usage to Qt < 6.5, and adds include handling for generated QML type registration files so nebula-shell builds reliably. Also fixes qInfo size formatting casts and updates README commands to invoke run-sway-vm.sh via `sh` for more portable execution.
Nebula Applications
Shared C++ service for discovering and launching installed Linux applications from .desktop entries.
Desktop and the future Bigscreen shell should both use this library. It has no Desktop-specific QML.
Behaviour
- Scans XDG application directories (
XDG_DATA_HOME,XDG_DATA_DIRS, with the usual~/.local/shareand/usr/sharedefaults). - Hides entries with
Hidden=trueorNoDisplay=true, and respectsOnlyShowIn/NotShowIn/TryExec. - Exposes a
QAbstractListModelto QML (desktopId,name,genericName,comment,iconName,categories,terminal). - Launches with
QProcess::startDetachedandQProcess::splitCommand. Does not use a shell. - Strips or substitutes common Exec field codes when launching without files/URLs.
QML module URI: Nebula.Applications.
See shells/desktop/README.md for launcher behaviour and session integration.
