[Linux] desktop file is lacking a Categories= entry
The desktop file is lacking a Categories=
entry in the *.desktop
file.
According to the menu spec,
By including one of the Main Categories in an application's desktop entry file, the application will be ensured that it will show up in a section of the application menu dedicated to this category. If multiple Main Categories are included in a single desktop entry file, the entry may appear more than once in the menu.
Hence, please add at least one of the following in the Categories=
key.
Main Category | Description | Notes |
---|---|---|
AudioVideo | Application for presenting, creating, or processing multimedia (audio/video) | |
Audio | An audio application | Desktop entry must include AudioVideo as well |
Video | A video application | Desktop entry must include AudioVideo as well |
Development | An application for development | |
Education | Educational software | |
Game | A game | |
Graphics | Application for viewing, creating, or processing graphics | |
Network | Network application such as a web browser | |
Office | An office type application | |
Science | Scientific software | |
Settings | Settings applications | Entries may appear in a separate menu or as part of a "Control Center" |
System | System application, "System Tools" such as say a log viewer or network monitor | |
Utility | Small utility application, "Accessories" |
In addition, you could specify one or more from the longer list of Additional Categories.
Please test the result with desktop-file-validate
and make sure it passes.
