A simple and lite desktop manager (desktop icon manager and other).

Free to use and modify.

Create the empty file "items_position" in the program folder or use the tar packed version.

Personalizations in the config file.

This program shows the content of the folder "Desktop". The name can be changed in the config file.

To open the recycle bin, the command have to be written in the file trash_command.sh. Make sure to make this file executable. Must be executable also the files qt5desktop.py and qt5desktop.sh. Both can be used to launch this program. qt5desktop.sh is raccomanded.

The recycle bin icon can change to reflect its state, empty or not empty. To use a wallpaper, just put an image named wallpaper.jpg at the exactly screen sizes in the program folder.

Can handle desktop files (programs, directories and files as link). Using desktop files for folders and files don't let user manage directly them. Moreover, more files and folders with the same name can coexist at the same time. Actually they can be created with my programs SimpleFM and qt5simplebar. Actually only programs. Accept files from my Qt5archiver program.

Wallpaper: just put an image named wallpaper (jpg or png) in the main directory of this program; it can be changed while this program is been executing by an action in the menu.

Limitations: only one item at time can change its position on the desktop. The desktop files cannot be copied, they can only be created and deleted.
