    How to make a .desktop file:
    1. Open MS notepad
    2. Write the code
    3. File->Save as
    4. Save as type->All files
    5. Name it *******.desktop

    Done! It should appear as a .desktop file.

    That mysterious file. How do u create it??

  • alepa - Nov 19, 2009 at 1:29 am

    @azdarfo
    In quella cartella devi creare un text file come nell’esempio con i nomi delle foto.
    Poi salva quel file come .titolochevuoi.desktop

    You mean November.

  • bandora - Nov 19, 2009 at 3:58 am

    Because you’re dumb and you don’t want to read more about the N900 and find out that it will be added on in future updates.. if not by Nokia it will be created by the community.

    yup you can do that too. The photos will be listed separately, instead of being an “image set”
