desktop file main category for a scientific data viewer?
Dear mentors,
I would like to add a .desktop file for my package yorick-cubeview.
It is a quite specialized data viewer. I am wondering what the "Main
Category" should be. Since it's basically a 3D data viewer, my first
impulse would be Graphics;3DGraphics;Viewers.
However , when going down to more specialized categories, I clearly
hit Science;Astronomy;DataVisualization, which seems to automatically
select "Education" for the Main Category. Indeed, cubeview is fairly
similar to yorick-spydr, which my upstream has put in "Education".
However the only rationale I can see for this choice is is that only
students would use the GUI anyway, grown (wo)men would use the
command line :-)
So, should all science software really go under Education??? Or
should I use both Graphics;3DGraphics;Viewers *and*
Science;Astronomy;DataVisualization?
Best regards, Thibaut.
