https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=254654 Summary: remove "Application" nonsense from .desktop Categories Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Alpha 2 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome-build@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: andreas.hanke@gmx-topmail.de QAContact: qa@suse.de "Application" is a nonsense category and should not be used in the "Categories" key of .desktop files. desktop-file-validate from desktop-file-utils-0.11 gave an error about this, unfortunately it was downgraded to a warning in desktop-file-utils-0.12 because it is so widespread, but that does not make it less non-sensical. Whether something is an Application or something else is already specified in the "Type" key, not in "Categories". .desktop files should only use registered or X-prefixed categories; "Application" is not one of them because it is neither registered nor prefixed with "X-". Getting rid of this crap is actually even a GnomeGoal: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/ApplicationCategory All SUSE patches against .desktop files as well as %suse_update_desktop_file invocations should get their "Application" nonsense removed. This affects many, if not more or less all packages. gnome-power-manager is one of them. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
