[Linux] desktop file is lacking a Categories= entry #3

Open probonopd opened 7 years ago

probonopd commented 7 years ago

aThe 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.

electron-builder offers native support for this since v19.22.1.

Is this issue opened by a bot? Because it feels like it, no offense but is kinda strange opening the issue on a seemingly random repo. Anyway thanks for the response with all the info :)

probonopd commented 7 years ago

No, I am not a bot. Just trying to build a central directory of AppImages,

nikolio commented 7 years ago

Aha. Thanks for the info. The next push will contain a commit with a category in the package json. I might digress, but have you used recently electron builder with the win nsis, cause I cant seem to build the exe in Travis CI. Sth with nsis wanting to build with the new gcc abi that the trusty packages in Travis don't have. Anyway Thanks and good day Nikos

probonopd commented 7 years ago

Hi Nikos, thank you very much. Unfortunately I don't know whether it is possible to build using electron-builder for Windows on Travis CI.

probonopd commented 7 years ago

Can you ping me once a new release is up for download? Thanks.

nikolio commented 7 years ago

Will do Thanks

https://github.com/nikolio/GradeStats/commit/7aa24a80599f7c63765a68e20b29ac3003aee08a adds a category option. I verified the desktop entry file with the desktop-file-validate Release https://github.com/nikolio/GradeStats/releases/tag/0.0.2

Good luck with building the central directory :) Nikos

Thank you very much. Maybe you want to disable the developer tools by default? https://appimage.github.io/GradeStats/

nikolio commented 7 years ago

Well since the application is in heavy development I need them. I saw that is not pretty with the developer tools open. If I upload new release the appimage hub entry will be updated automatically ?

probonopd commented 7 years ago

If you send a pull request on https://github.com/AppImage/appimage.github.io/blob/master/data/GradeStats (e.g., remove the #) then it will re-run the job and make another screenshot.

nikolio commented 7 years ago

Thanks I will make sure to send a pull request when I 'm gonna have a release with the dev tools closed
