    [Desktop Entry]
    Version=1.0

    Name=Remmina
    Comment=A remote desktop client

## Using from command line

You can do

    $ remmina -c ~/.remmina/file-name.remmina

to open previously saved connection profile.

Here is the script, which renames connection profile files basing on name= property to make it human readable.

    #!/bin/bash
    cd ~/.remmina
    ls -1 *.remmina | while read a; do
           N=`grep '^name=' "$a" | cut -f2 -d=`;
           [ "$a" == "$N.remmina" ] || mv "$a" "$N".remmina;
    done

To minimize to tray on startup, run:

    remmina -i
