-===== Application =====+----
  
-[[desktop-item-edit|Desktop File Editor]]\\+Exo is an extension library used in the Xfce desktop, originally developed by 
 +[[https://www.os-cillation.de/en/opensourceprojekte/libexo/|os-cillation]]. It has some helper applications that are used throughout the entire Xfce desktop to manage preferred applications and edit ''.desktop'' files.
  
 +exo is targeted at application development and is considered ready for production use. You no longer need to define the EXO_API_SUBJECT_TO_CHANGE preprocessor symbol.

 +===== Debugging Support ===== 
 + 
 + 
 +libexo currently supports four different levels of debugging support, which 
 +can be setup using the configure flag `--enable-debug' (check the output of 
 +`configure --help'): 
 + 
 +  `full'    This is the strongest option. Deprecation and some coding style 
 +            checks are made and will cause the build to fail for any errors 
 +            or warnings. 
 + 
 +  `yes'     This is the default for Git snapshot builds. It adds all kinds 
 +            of checks to the code, and is therefore likely to run slower. 
 +            Use this for development of libexo and locating bugs in libexo. 
 + 
 +  `minimum' This is the default for release builds. This is the recommended 
 +            behavior. 
 + 
 +  `no'      Disables all sanity checks. Don't use this unless you know 
 +            exactly what you are doing.
