Hi, It is several xdg menus in my system:
fvwm-menu-desktop --get-menus desktop /etc/xdg/menus/xfce-applications.menu /etc/xdg/menus/fvwm-applications.menu /etc/xdg/menus/xfce-settings-manager.menu /etc/xdg/menus/e-applications.menu The fvwm-applications menu provide full support for the additional categories as defined here: https://specifications.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apas02.html With fvwm-menu-desktop \ --menu-type applications \ --all-menus \ --enable-mini-icons \ --theme FVWM_Xdg \ --size 32 \ --title FvwmMenu \ --mini-icon-dir ${FVWM_USERDIR}/icons/fvwm-desktop > ${FVWM_USERDIR}/${MENU_FILE} sed -i -e 's:Module FvwmPerl -l fvwm-menu-desktop-config.fpl:A $[FVWM_SYSTEMDIR]/scripts/XDG-Menu:' ${FVWM_USERDIR}/${MENU_FILE} The --all-menus is mandatory to get the wanted additional xdg categories. Without it, the additional categories of the fvwm-applications menu are missing because several menus provide the same submenus with identical names but without the additional categories. But even with that option, the resulting menu is a little bit messy because if the fvwm and xfce menus are OK, the 2 others are duplicated (get 2 times all the main categories in each of them). If I run fvwm-menu-desktop \ --menu-type applications \ --desktop fvwm \ --enable-mini-icons \ --theme FVWM_Xdg \ --size 32 \ --title FvwmMenu \ --mini-icon-dir ${FVWM_USERDIR}/icons/fvwm-desktop > ${FVWM_USERDIR}/${MENU_FILE} fvwm-menu-desktop work as expected: I only get the fvwm applications menu and get all the needed additional categories, as provided by this xdg menu (can be found here: https://github.com/domichel/fvwm-xdg-menu) But in both cases, I get no support of the extended categories as defined here: https://specifications.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/ar01s03.html "Appendix A, Registered Categories enumerates the standard categories. Categories not in this document must be prefixed by the string "X-" indicating that they are extensions." I don't know if that issue comes from fvwm-desktop-menu or from PyXdg on which it depend. As example, I have several application desktop files like: # cat /usr/share/applications/lsp-plugins-spectrum-analyzer-x1-lsp.desktop [Desktop Entry] Name=spectrum-analyzer-x1 Type=Application Comment=Linux Studio Plugins Project Exec=lsp-plugins-spectrum-analyzer-x1 TryExec=lsp-plugins-spectrum-analyzer-x1 Icon=lsp-plugins-spectrum-analyzer-x1 Categories=AudioVideo;Audio;X-LSP_Plugins; and # cat /usr/share/desktop-directories/LSP-Plugins.directory [Desktop Entry] Type=Directory Verson=1.0 Name=LSP-Plugins Icon=lsp # cat /etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged/LSP-Plugins.menu <!DOCTYPE Menu PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD Menu 1.0//EN" "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/menu-spec/menu-1.0.dtd";> <Menu> <Name>Applications</Name> <Menu> <Name>LSP Plugins</Name> <Directory>LSP-Plugins.directory</Directory> <Include> <Category>X-LSP_Plugins</Category> </Include> </Menu> </Menu> In /etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged, I have an electronics menu very similar to the LSP-Plugins menu, and it appear correctly. The only difference I can see that can trigger X-LSP_Plugins to be ignored is than Electronics is an additional category when X-LSP_Plugins is an extension. Best, Dominique -- If you have a problem and you are not doing anything to fix it, you are at the heart of the problem.
