What is ":resources" in /usr/lib/firetools/uiapps?

[Rosika2]

Hi all, 👋

as I´m using the latest version of firetools now (0.9.72) I have to edit ~/.config/firetools/uiapps for adding my personal entries.
That´s fine and I´m getting along with it quite well, it seems.

I still have a question regarding the syntax of the entries.

In /usr/lib/firetools/uiapps it says:

Each line defines an application, with semicolons separated fields as follows:

executable; description; icon; (optional) command for starting Firejail

O.K., I get that.

Here´s an example I understand:

thunderbird;Thunderbird Email Client;thunderbird

But what about this one:

firefox;Mozilla Firefox;:resources/firefox ❓

The third field should be for the icon, it says. I don´t understand the ":resources" bit. There are only few entries that use this nomenclature.

Many thanks in advance for your help.
Cheers from Rosika 🙂

The referenced resources is a subdirectory of the firetools repository where the png icon is stored:

Hi @glitsj16, 👋

thank you very much for your reply.

O.K., a "subdirectory of the firetools repository" means that the png file doesn´t reside on the local system then.
For firefox it´s this url, as I found out (thanks to your link):

Thank you very much for enlightening me. ❤️

Many greetings from Rosika 🙂
