[Bug] Modifications not taken into account by the GNOME Menu Editor software in Budgie Desktop

[PennyFarthing-GH]

Description

I created a user account named visiteur (a kind of guest account) for family or friends who temporarily want to use my computer. So I used the software alacarte (GNOME Menu Editor) to hide certain sections which they will not have to consult. Thus, in the attached example, I masked the Outils système section (System settings), and it still appears with all the applications attached to it, why?

Budgie version

budgie-desktop 10.8.2

Operating System

Solus 4.5

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Launch Menu principal (GNOME Menu Editor)
2. Deselect Outils système (System settings)
3. After checking, the menu Outils système is not hidden after this manipulation, it is still visible

Actual result

The menu Outils système still remains visible, while it is unchecked in GNOME Menu Editor.

Expected result

I expect that the changes made in GNOME Menu Editor to reflect on Budgie's menu.

Additional information

@EbonJaeger told me to create an issue in the Budgie tracker to report it.

I'm not sure if this should be considered a bug, to be honest. We're not using the GNOME apptracker anymore, so it may make more sense to have our own mechanism for hiding applications in the menu, rather than using the GNOME system. Worth some discussion.

Personally, I'd rather consider this an Enhancement, and add a mechanism within Budgie Desktop Settings to hide applications from Budgie Menu.

Should I validate your proposal or have you taken this development into account for the future?

Hi,

In your comment, you add : "Personally, I'd rather consider this an Enhancement, and add a mechanism within Budgie Desktop Settings to hide applications from Budgie Menu."

Best regards.

Is this relevant to this issue? https://specifications.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/menu-spec-latest.html

I have overrides for menu structure in ~/.config/menu/gnome-applications.menu

alacarte shows menu structure respecting it.

However budgie menu totally ignores it
