The menu now has specific ordering tags, or uses alphabetical order for any other apps. The submenus can also go into separate files, all of which get merged into a single menu. Presumably you can also do nested folders, but I've not tried that yet.

Catorise 0.0.2 on PR1.1

When I install a new app icons do not show up in the categories just in all.

i did an apt-get installation two and i do not see the catorise trigger message.

any thoughts?

So you do not see the message when you install with apt-get and you do not get icons catgorised when installing through App Manager?

Can you let me know which apps you tried with?

Catorise also now has a shiny Bugzilla product for raising bugs in:

As Bundyo says, perhaps inotify on /etc/hildon/theme would work; but ideally I'd like some kind of system invocation so that there's nothing running in the background 24/7.

You'll still have it running 24/7 - its the kernel

Sorry; I thought catorise was the new name of mymenu because information for both programs was being posted in the same thread.

Anyone also finding that freeciv is not turning up in any menu other than ALL?

When I run /opt/catorise/catorise i get the following error:

Code:

Nokia-N900-42-11:/usr/share/applications/hildon# /opt/catorise/catorise
dpkg: /usr/share/applications/hildon/freeciv-client-sdl.desktop not found.
Unknown desktop file: /usr/share/applications/hildon/freeciv-client-sdl.desktop

However if I get a directory listing of /usr/share/applications/hildon i get:

I can only hazard a guess your script does not follow symbolic links
