Hi, I gave trying to use the tag database to make a menu layout for the debian menu a first shot. It's not truly tag-like because all entries appear only once. I just used fed menu's hinting system with some tags. I only use use:: and works-with:: because others like x11::, made-of:: or suite:: didn't really add usefull info in the menu.
The first observations: 1) Unfortunately a lot of apps lack tags... 2) Menu's hinting system is not really compatible with tagging. Of course an app can have multiple use:: or works-with:: tags, with the hinting algorithm it's more or less a matter of chance which one gets precedence. I'm thinking of trying to modify menu a bit so that at the first level only the use:: tags are used, that would cut down a bit on the number of possibilities Apps can be in all categories. Then as a second level it should use the works-with:: tags. The choice for use:: and works-with:: is purely by experiment, these seem to be the most consistently used tags. Maybe others like media:: and protocol:: could be allowed to, but I'm not sure about that. grts Tim btw: Does anybody know how to make a screenshot of a menu in gnome? btw2: What's the difference between use::gaming and use::gameplaying
