Exhange description "SDL2 application"

[javierdlr]

Hi, now if you launch Exhange commodity on eveyr SDL2 it shows "SDL2 application" as desacription.

SDL_os4video.c::
static void
OS4_RegisterApplication(_THIS)
{
    SDL_VideoData *data = (SDL_VideoData *) _this->driverdata;

    data->appId = IApplication->RegisterApplication(data->appName,
                                                    REGAPP_Description, "SDL2 application",
                                                    TAG_DONE);

    if (data->appId) {
        dprintf("Registered application with id %u\n", data->appId);
    } else {
        dprintf("Failed to register application\n");
    }
}

can such string be "user definible"?

How to make SDL2 programs appear on Exchange?

But AFAIK SDL2 doesn't have API for this.

Ok, if then instead of fixed "SDL2 application" maybe the program name be set as REGAPP_Description?

Why mix name and description?

I'm thinking about adding an AmigaOS 4 -specific function to deal with this.

After checking some SDL documentation, SDL_HINT_APP_NAME seemed appropriate for this use.
