  Enhancing the last comment: When you have a file with URLs for which you want to create the desktop-files, then you can use this bash-script for this task:

  #!/bin/bash

  URLS_FILE=URL_LIST
  PREFIX=generated_desktopfile_
  FORMAT="%05d.desktop"
  RESULTS=RES

  
  any-dl -f create_desktoplink.adl -p desktop `paste $URLS_FILE -s` > $RESULTS

  
  csplit $RESULTS --prefix=$PREFIX --suffix-format=$FORMAT /\#\ \-\-\-/ {*}

  rm -v generated_desktopfile_00000.desktop # sorry for the radcoded name ;-)

  How to create desktop-links files for Gnome Desktop from a list or URLs?

  It's about three lines of code, when using a certain parser for this task.

  First you create a file, say "create_desktoplink.adl" and it contans the following:

  
  parsername "desktop": ()
  start
  print( "[Desktop Entry]" );
  print( "Encoding=UTF-8" );
  titleextract;
  store("title");
  print("Name=", $title);
  print("Type=Link");
  print("URL=", $STARTURL);
  print("Icon=gnome-fs-bookmark");
  end

  Then you call any-dl this way:

  $ any-dl -f create_desktoplink.adl -p desktop <list_of_urls> > RESULTS

  Then you need to split the results into seperated files:

  $ csplit RESULTS --prefix=generated_desktopfile_ /\#\ \-\-\-/ {*}

  Then you can remove the file with Index 00 with "rm".

  Thats it.
