How does [Desktop Action ...] work?

[Ernst Persson]

Yeah, I see: (Though they're commented out in the source..?)

#[Desktop Action Enqueue]
#Exec=bmpx-remote AddUris %U
#Name=BMPx: Enqueue Files

#[Desktop Action Play]
#Exec=bmpx-remote PlayUris %U
#Name=BMPx: Play Files

So there's two actions, "Enqueue" and "Play". What other actions are
defined already?
Do you know where you found documentation for this?

Regards
/Ernst
