/usr/share/applications/hildon
view folder via your web browser:
file:///usr/share/applications/hildon
next you can either edit the existent shortcut or make a copy and edit the copy...
to edit files i found the following method the easiest:
i installed midnight commander:
http://my-maemo.com/software/applica...42&fldAuto=949
and run mc from the x-terminal
(root is fine otherwise system files appear locked when saving changes):
sudo gainroot
mc
from mc you also can enter cmd's like you do in the x-terminal.
please note where the cursor is flashing in the mc lower area.
for example type or paste the following:
cd /usr/share/applications/hildon
(this changes the location of the folder you want to view in the mc pane)
tip: you can paste from the clipboard to mc - in the n900 top drop down menu (mc app) and select past, ctrl+v does not work in mc.
then simply use the cursor keys to find/navigate to the file...
then to edit file in mc tap the menu at the bottom (4-edit)
the line you would need to change and add the parameter will be something like the following example:
exec=/path_to_app/app
change to
exec=/path_to_app/app -MyNewParameter
save changes to file from the menu at the bottom (tap the save option)
try to start your application again (normal way you start your app) and it should now take the new parameter.
that's it!
