I don't think arnis is an Icon. But there are icons in https://github.com/louis-e/arnis/blob/main/icons/, maybe you could specify one of those?

Yeah, when running desktop-file-install arnis.desktop, I don't see the icon.

The .desktop file is intended as an alternative to the tauri bundle workflow (so the packager/advanced user can definitely put the icon in the correct place)

What do these keywords do? I see this in the XDG Desktop Entry Specification:

A list of strings which may be used in addition to other metadata to describe this entry. This can be useful e.g. to facilitate searching through entries. The values are not meant for display, and should not be redundant with the values of Name or GenericName.

Does this provide additional keywords to discover the app when using the OS's search tool (e.g., KRunner or GNOME search)?

If I understand what this does correctly, I don't think arnis should show up if someone searches "Tauri" in their OS search bar, right? It's akin to adding "rust" to this field. I guess "OSM"/"OpenStreetMap" are okay. What about "Minecraft"?

I think that's the main reason for that option
