I got recently called out for using desktop-file-validate instead of desktop-file-install when the upstream .desktop file is correct, doesn't need to be changed, and make install already places it in the correct location.
This all makes good sense; but what are the actual differences between -validate and -install ?
Does install call validate ?
Install validates the file that gets installed, but additionally, it lets you make changes to the file before installing it, like adding/removing OnlyShowIn keys, or changing categories, etc.
