Hi, Short intro I'm a fedora contributer who is active in the games SIG, see: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/SIGs/Games http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/HansdeGoede As Games SIG, we are so successful at packaging games, that the Applications->Games menu can become rather cluttered up. To fix this "problem" I've created a package called games-menus. Which creates a number of submenus under the Games menus based on the additional categories a .desktop file with as main category Game may have, see: http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apa.html However some gnome-games games do not show up in the submenus (instead they stay in the "main" Games menu) or show up in a strange submenu. This happens because of missing or invalid additional categories in the .desktop files for these games. To reproduce: yum install games-menus Goto your application menu and then: * Iagno shows up directly under Games, should be under Games->Board Games Fix: add BoardGame to the categories * Sudoku shows up directly under Games, should be under Games->Logic & Puzzles Fix: add LogicGame to the categories * Tali shows up directly under Games, should be under Games->Card Games Fix: add CardGame to the categories * Nibbles (aka snake) shows up under Games->Arcade, I have _never_ seen snake in an Arcade, should be under Games->Logic & Puzzles Fix: remove ArcadeGame from and add LogicGame to the categories p.s. The categories field of a .desktop file can be modified by editing / patching it, but also with the --add-category / --remove-category options of desktop-file-install. This has the advantage that you do not need to redo patches when a change is made to the .desktop file(s).
Hi Hans, Bug seems reasonable to me, but it doesn't really make sense for fedora to do --add-category/--remove-category etc. Instead, would you mind filing upstream? We can then just pull in the fixes in 2.18.1 or whatever.
Filed upstream, external reference added, closing as upstream.
