Hidden desktop files do not participate in desktop ID precedence rules

[Nycta-b424b3c7]

I override desktop files in ~/.local/share/applications, to hide those that I don't want to be shown (Such as xfce4-about.desktop that shows "About Xfce" window, for instance).

The program seem to explicitly ignore those (I saw Desktop file is skipped: Refusing to parse Hidden or NoDisplay desktop file. in logs).

Can you please make this use-case viable?

Thanks for the bug report!

Sorry, I haven't considered your use case. I have even written an unit test that verifies that this arguably incorrect behavior is in place. j4-dmenu-desktop r3.0 completely ignores hidden files, which is different from the behavior of r2.18.

This will be fixed in the r3.1 release.

That's awesome, thank you very much!

Should be fixed in develop. Could you please verify that the issue is fixed? You can clone this repository and follow build requirements to build the latest j4-dmenu-destkop.

Built it from develop sources and it sure does work! Thank you very much!
