--- Comment #6 from Stanislav Brabec ---
The desktop menu is a two level thing:
1) Desktop Categories (see each .desktop file).
2) Menu definition (see /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu).
In our case, the current XDG menu-spec has the nearest match
Categories=Office;Finance;, which covers all finance applications.
There is the only thing that could be done immediately: Create separate drawer
for Office;Finance;. It will still mix financial software and crypto currencies
software.
Introduction of more categories is possible, but it needs a wider discussion.
However SUSE specific change is technically possible (use of
Categories=Office;Finance;X-SUSE-Cryptocurrencies;), it is not a good approach.
This change needs a coordinated effort of all distributions and software
authors. So it is not as straightforward as it sounds.
1) Join XDG mailing list and start discussion.
https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
2) Create bug in the Freedesktop Bugzilla
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Specifications
(product desktop-entry)
3) When consensus is reached, prepare specs patch
git://anongit.freedesktop.org/xdg/xdg-specs
4) Wait for approval and release
https://specifications.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/
5) Incorporate specification changes into openSUSE specific stuff:
- build checks
- menu definition
- update_desktop_files
6) Prepare upstream patches for each particular project.
