Hello, I'm an Ubuntu user and I'm trying to get DrScheme added to the Applications->Programming menu so that it will be easily accessible to users. For this to work, there needs to be a drscheme.desktop file added in /usr/share/applications. The file should look like this:
---- /usr/share/applications/drscheme.desktop ---- [Desktop Entry] Type=Application Encoding=UTF-8 Name=DrScheme GenericName=IDE for PLT Scheme Comment=DrScheme is an interactive, integrated, graphical programming environment for the Scheme, MzScheme, and MrEd programming Languages. Exec=drscheme Icon=/usr/lib/plt/collects/icons/plt.xpm Terminal=false Categories=Development;IDE; StartupNotify=true ------------------------------------------ Adding this file would mean that many Linux distributions would have the IDE readily available in the Applications menu, rather than having to launch it from the Terminal. As it is now, these distributions have to add a patch to the packaging to enable this functionality I noticed that in version 5.0 you've changed the name from PLT Scheme to Racket, and thus DrScheme has become DrRacket. In that case, obviously the name changes would need to be carried into the .desktop file as well. Thanks, and let me know if you have any questions. This is my first "bug" fix so I'm sorry if I've gone about it the wrong way.
