These were prompted by /etc/xdg/xfce4/desktop/xfce-registered- categories.xml Apparently Science should be a section on its own not under Education Also there shouldn't be a space in "Project Management" The Debian bug has more detail.

I don't have any apps in either category, so I'll have to create a dummy app to check it. Actually, could you post the .desktop file that's being miscategorised? I'd rather reproduce it directly. As for the representation of "Project Management", that's my choice, and it'll stay as-is. Having MushedTogetherWords in a user-visible menu is stupid.

It seems they're saying that the related category field is the parent field. Doesn't sound right to me now I look more closely. On your other point, the lack of a space in the internal computer read format doesn't mean that you can't have put one in when you display it. I think the problem is: <category name="Office" toplevel="true" builtin-icon="PRODUCTIVITY"> <subcategory name="Project Management" /> Instead of: <category name="Office" toplevel="true" builtin-icon="PRODUCTIVITY"> <subcategory name="ProjectManagement" replaces="Project Management" /> I'll ask him for an example .desktop file that he thinks breaks anyway Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/garcon/+bug/1524441/comments/2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2005-06-27T07:17:07+00:00 Simon Huggins wrote: Oh no hang on. That URL says: When using a category described in the list below it is strongly recommended to also include the category listed under Related Categories. So I guess that's why he wants Science under Education.

I made up that file over a year ago and haven't looked at it since. Fixed in SVN. As for any other problems, I don't think I'm going to work on this menu parser anymore, in favor of Benny's for 4.4.

The idea that science is a subcategory of education can only be conceived by people who have nothing to do with science. Science is an important subject in the education of modern people, but it is much more than that. There are many programs that scientists actually use for their work, and have nothing to do with education. Should they all be under education? Following this logic, everything should be under education. GIMP? can be used to study graphics. Firefox? used by millions to read wikipedia and other educational web sites. LibreOffice? used by students to write their papers. I can go on and on, but you get the picture.

However, the desktop entry defines it this way and I guess we're better off sticking to it.
