Hi,

This happens in GNOME "Classic" of course - maybe it works fine in GNOME
Shell, I don't know. And yes, maybe this should be moved to some gnome
package and "affects" this package instead... But I figured I would just
scratch that itch and provide a quick way out. I'm not sure why
Terminal=false is necessary anyways...

Bug#893635: does not show up in GNOME's application menus

[Felix Natter]

hello Antoine,

I have got a reply from xdg from a user who has the same problem:
  https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2018-April/014010.html

So it looks like this might be a GNOME(3) problem (or can you reproduce
this with KDE or another desktop?)

I think it would make sense to report this against GNOME (either
upstream or in Debian), unless you can reproduce it with KDE, e17, etc.

Cheers and Best Regards,

Bug#893635: does not show up in GNOME's application menus

[Felix Natter]

hello Antoine,

thank you for the report. I cannot reproduce this on stretch with
GNOME3: It shows up in the list of applications (super key), and in both
"menu editors". Can you provide your desktop environment (GNOME3?) and a
screenshot that shows the problem?

I will ask x...@lists.freedesktop.org.

Cheers and Best Regards,

Bug#893635: does not show up in GNOME's application menus

[Antoine Beaupre]

Package: freeplane
Version: 1.5.18-1
Severity: important

The .desktop file installed by this package seems to be improperly
detected by GNOME, which does not show it in the expected location (in
the "Office" submenu).

I have found that the following patch fixes the issue:

--- /usr/share/applications/freeplane.desktop   2016-12-10 12:08:55.0 
-0500
+++ freeplane.desktop   2018-03-20 14:16:27.182938569 -0400
@@ -2,7 +2,7 @@
 Version=1.0
 Name=Freeplane
 Exec=/usr/bin/freeplane %F
-Terminal=false
+#Terminal=false
 Icon=freeplane
 Type=Application
 MimeType=application/x-freeplane;


This is strange, because that entry is accurate: the program *is* not
setup to run in a terminal, and that entry shouldn't cause
problems. This, at least, is what the spec says here:

https://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ar01s06.html

I wonder what's going on here...
