So your proposal is pretty similar to my earlier proposal, except that mine adds an new 'DescriptiveName' field for the combined string: Type=Application Name=Totem GenericName=Movie Player DescriptiveName=Totem Movie Player This has the advantage that the Name field can remain just as the spec says, the application name. It has the disadvantage that it adds a new field that we would have to add to the spec. You can use the same algorithm that you propopsed: if (GenericName is unique in menu) use GenericName else use DescriptiveName _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
