Bug report: GNOME menus
Hello all,
I'm using GNOME (2.2) on Woody but this bug report should be applicable
to all versions.
It's been a certain time since I wondered why OOo still appears in the
"Others" submenu. I decided to finaly take a look at it. For me, OOo
should appear in the "Office" submenu.
I found that package "openoffice.org" contains some files in
"/usr/share/gnome/apps/net", while they should definitely belong to
"/usr/share/gnome/apps/Applications", at least for the "not utilites"
ones (i.e. spadmin). I suggest to give them the name of the script used
to launch them, instead of their current one (ex: use
"/usr/share/gnome/apps/Applications/oowriter.desktop" instead of
"/usr/share/gnome/apps/net/textdoc.desktop".
Moreover, if I take a look at the "textdoc.desktop" file I can see some
major flaws in it (I may be wrong):
- "MimeType=xxxx xxxxx" should be separated by ";" and not spaces
- I don't understand or see any other lines "Version=xxx" in *any* other
package
- there should be a line "Categories=Application;Office;xxxxxxx" at the
end, where "xxxxxxx" should be any of "WordProcessor", "Presentation",
"Spreadsheet", ...
There is no need to "update-menus" afterwards, GNOME takes them
immediately into account.
These should be a good start for a far better GNOME (1.4 or 2.x)
integration.
Regards
