[opensuse-packaging] Please register the desktop menu subcategory: Publishing
The desktop menu subcategory Publishing is not recognised by openSUSE's menu specification [1] although it is clearly a subcategory of Office or Graphics according to the freedesktop standards [2]. Using the Publishing subcategory in conjunction with either Office or Graphics as the main category leads to errors during build checks complaining of insufficient category description. I request that the Publishing subcategory may be registered as a valid desktop menu subcategory of the main category "Office" in the openSUSE menu standards. This will benefit many applications including latex GUI frontends like texmaker, kile, texworks, etc which are now registered as WordProcessors as well as desktop publishing applications like Scribus which simply cannot be registered as anything else other than a Publishing application (at present it is registered as a WordProcessor too, when it is anything but). Thanks and bye. -- Atri [1] en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_desktop_menu_categories [2] http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/1.0/apa.html -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org

Sounds good to me. If you have a patch for http://gitorious.org/opensuse/desktop-data/blobs/master/etc/xdg/menus/applic... then I'll apply it and you can then update the wiki page :-) Cheers, Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org

I was about to apply this, but we also need a /usr/share/desktop-directories/suse-office-publishing.directory file (since you're referencing it with the patch). It's rather trivial to create one, but we need an icon for it (well two): /usr/share/icons/{hicolor,oxygen}/32x32/apps/package_office_publishing.png Any idea of what icon we could abuse for this?
