Notices

Several OVI store games, but also Documents2go programs don't show up after update PR1.1 and if these programs are installed after catorise. Deinstalling and reinstalling catorise fixes this, till other programs are installed.

Hi, everyone,

In the MyMenu thread I described some of the changes PR1.1 made in the handling of menu files: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=278

Could tihs be implemented as manual editing of the /opt/catorise/menu -file by adding the application into "main" category for example?

here is a hildon.menu just to compare with the stock file from catorise.
there I've moved bounce and angry birds to the games category.

before (not in that file) I've also tried to traduce to german, but that didn't worked. showed me then "no applications".

v0.0.3 is being prepared. This includes:

• Translations (by using the App Manager's labels)
• Better parsing of .desktop files.
• A rejig of some of the categories for the built-in apps.
• Usage of categories from within a .desktop file, if present.

Before release, I'll look at:

• Symlinked .desktop problem
• #8026 - triggers problem meaning no-auto recategorisation on app install.

It could be implemented like that, but - as I said - if you put anything in a "main" category now it will end up in "other".

There's also been a suggestion of automatically showing the most 5 used apps. Suggestions on how to detect those welcome :-)

How about: "most used" = "launched most times from w/in Catorise"

Don't worry about launching from other places (shortcuts, etc.) For many of us using this tool, it will be the go-to place to launch from.

Also, consider not just storing a launch count for each app. Rather, you could store a series of date-time stamps for each app. That way you could throw away "hits" over a certain age so that apps I used a lot six months ago (but seldom use now) wouldn't keep cluttering up the top of the list.

Also-also, maybe the "list by freq of use" feature should be a user selectable option. Not everyone will want the list to keep changing (hey! that icon was here yesterday, now it's there).

My dream feature is do-it-yourself custom categorizing and ordering. I'm quite happy to edit a text file to do so if the protocol for doing so is clear.

But Catorise doesn't launch anything. "All" it does is re-arrange the menu used by hildon-desktop.

If you don't mind editing text files, you don't need Catorise, MyMenu or anything else. Just edit /etc/xdg/menus/hildon.menu with a copy of the Desktop Menu Specification open. FWIW, icons used are from /usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/hildon.

Catorise 0.0.4 is now in extras-devel (0.0.3 didn't last long); compared with 0.0.2, this includes:

• Translations (by using the App Manager's labels)
• Better parsing of .desktop files.
• A rejig of some of the categories for the built-in apps.
• Usage of categories from within a .desktop file, if present.
• Symlinked .desktop problem
• #8026 - triggers problem meaning no-auto recategorisation on app install.

There is a known bug with Phone, Conversations and other core apps starting: #8111, hopefully marcoil will be able to help with this. I could exclude such apps from the categorisation until the problem is fixed. Thoughts?

this application is great! thanks for this!
