# `desktop-entry-unknown-type`

This `desktop` entry uses a `Type` that is not among the currently recognized values of `Application`, `Link` or `Directory`.

Implementations normally ignore unknown values but this condition is probably not intended.

The values are case-sensitive.

The `desktop-file-validate` tool in the `desktop-file-utils` package may be useful when checking the syntax of desktop entries.

Severity: | `warning`
Experimental: | `false`
