| - `-u <argument>` MAY be used to set either `%u` or `%U` in the desktop file. If using this you MUST NOT use `u` as a macro name for any reason. | ||
| - `%u{:rpmspec}` means that a desktop file can only read one URL at a time, `%U{:rpmspec}` means that it can read multiple at a time. These are what are known as [exec keys](https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry/latest/exec-variables.html). | ||
| - Defer to what the desktop file originally contained if you are unsure which to use. | ||
