[Github-comments] [geany/geany] write absolute path to geany bin in desktop file (#2728)

[Andy Alt]

Trying to fix the po issue... heading into spaghetti territory with my [last commit](https://github.com/geany/geany/pull/2728/commits/786a4caa9969e170910694d2cbc24fa603c74e63) (which doesn't work anyway, and won't without more of a mess I think).

Might be time to abandon this PR and seek out a better approach. I think it would be best if this could be done using the already-existing `geany.desktop.in` file. But I don't know how to do that.

I see this in the main automake file

```
desktop_in_files = geany.desktop
desktop_DATA = $(desktop_in_files:.desktop.in=.desktop)
@INTLTOOL_DESKTOP_RULE@
```

But I'm not familiar yet with this process of generating the desktop(out) file (as opposed to using './configure').

This looks like someone trying to do something similar to what I"m trying to accomplish, using the in.in file when INTLTOOL_DESKTOP_RULE is also being used to create an out file... https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12239624/intltool-with-an-autoconf-generated-desktop-file
