I'm also in the belief that we should consider chopping up the Command line section into smaller bits, we have enough software now that it's beginning to be a nightmare to find a particular kind of app for the command line in the list. I'll probably put together a commit on that subject soon.
@SaintFenix
What about assigning command line software to their respective category, like mutt
to Email Utilities, curseradio
to Audio? I think having a [sub]category for performance monitoring tools ‒ which are largely found in the Command Line Utilities ‒ would also clean up the clutter a bit. Everything that do not fit anywhere can be put in to the others category.
That's a thought,
I was also thinking we could mirror the separate categories into command line tools also, they wouldn't have a ton of software each yet, but it'll keep growing anyhow.
So we would have an Audio section for both GUI and then as a subcategory of Command line tools, another audio section.
Do you think that would be confusing though?
@chrunchyjesus Got it right. I am trying to implementing an icon that denotes terminal/CLI app and then move all the app in that section into other subcategories.
I really like an icon that denotes terminal apps, that would be an elegant way to keep the list from growing awkward. I started on a trial of seperating out the command line into different categories today, it was quite messy. :(
I figure it'd be a good idea to have a central thread where we can discuss recent issues with the list:
Should be separate them by GUI and Command Line? Or mash them together?
We are lucky enough that most of the translations here are Latin charactered languages, so alphabetizing is fairly easy. However this changes with Thai and Chinese. Should they maintain Roman lettered alphabetizing, so we can make changes between en-EN and them easier? Or should be consider another order? My recent commits have been under the idea that they will maintain Roman lettering order for sanity sake, but I don't want my lettering system to be the default if someone doesn't care for it.
196 the first suggestion that @makss made was in regards to how we are going to continue to keep the different translations in sync and together. So far that has been something I've taken to doing from time to time and it's largely been successful. I believe the method of adding the English version of a program to all the different lists so that they can later be translated, and the ordering kept, is the current way forward, unless someone can write up the A_sort.py's to do it for us. However we should still discuss this just in case we have better ideas.
These points come from referencing the following now closed issues, they haven't really been addressed, so I've combined them here for easier discussion:
