Using OpenSuSe xdg_menu to debug menu content in Debian Edu?
Recently I have had a look at the KDE menu in Debian Edu Squeeze, and
reported a few bugs about applications in obviosly bad locations.
In the process, I came across
<URL: http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Development/Howto/MenuMigrationToXDG >
where Mandriva document their effort to migrate away from Debian menu
files and to use XDG files instead. Seem like a good idea for Debian
to do too. :)
Anyway, on that page a tool from SuSe is mentioned, and it seem to be
the tool I need to be able to quickly get a complete list of all the
menu entries in the current KDE menu, to see if some of them have bad
locations.
The tool is available from
<URL: http://download.opensuse.org/source/distribution/11.2/repo/oss/suse/src/xdg-menu-0.2-196.2.src.rpm >,
and using it like this gave me a useful list:
xdg_menu --root-menu /etc/xdg/menus/kde-applications.menu | less
I am not quite sure if that is the correct root menu for KDE, but it
definitely gave me a list that seem similar to the KDE menu.
Jose, what tools did you use when you reorganized the menus for the
education-menus package?
Happy hacking,
