[Bug 47426] Re: desktop files with Category=Science; don't show in the menus
From the freedesktop specification (http://standards.freedesktop.org /menu-spec/menu-spec-1.0.html) the Education category is a main category where Science is an additional one, shouldn't those .desktop use Math;Science;Education to list a main category then? -- desktop files with Category=Science; don't show in the menus https://launchpad.net/bugs/47426 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 47426] Re: desktop files with Category=Science; don't show in the menus
Hmm, fair point. I'm not totally convinced that all apps in the Science category match the Education category too, though. What do you suggest? As I see it, these are the options at the minute: * Modify all relevant .desktop files to include category 'Education' * Modify applications.menu so that Science packages go into the Education category in the Applications menu * Introduce a Science category to applications.menu * Do nothing, leave the packages split across 2-3 categories -- desktop files with Category=Science; don't show in the menus https://launchpad.net/bugs/47426 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 47426] Re: desktop files with Category=Science; don't show in the menus
The best option would probably to fix packages which don't list a main category to mention Education or the other best matching one. One extra menu category would require to pick between Education and Science which is not ideal -- desktop files with Category=Science; don't show in the menus https://launchpad.net/bugs/47426 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

OK, I'll try to work on this when I get chance.

[Bug 47426] Re: desktop files with Category=Science; don't show in the menus
I think the requirement for the 'Applications' category may have been fixed - packages such as kmplot seem to display in the menus without having this category. There's still a problem with displaying science packages, though - there isn't a science category! Would it be possible to add such a category in the Applications menu? Science apps currently get split between 'Education' and 'Other', which makes finding science applications more frustrating for users. I think all that's required is a small modification to applications.menu and to add a new science.directory file in /usr/share/desktop- directories/. This wouldn't add much to the delta for the gnome-menus package, as similar patches have already been applied. -- desktop files with Category=Science; don't show in the menus https://launchpad.net/bugs/47426 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
