Menu categories
Hi! I have tried to make a script that converts desktop files into reasonable menu files. My perl ability generally sucks, but I did something that at least worked. Thanks to people around various irc channels. But in the process of mapping between freedesktop.org desktop categories and menu sections, a couple of questiotns arised where we might be missing something in the allowed menu sections: Multimedia players, editors and such: Audio/sound players, editors, ... goes to Applications/Sound Video players, editors, ... goes to Applications/Video. But nowadays quite many players and editors handle both video and audio - where do they belong? Or does audio+video players just go in video? Several applications for photo collections and such fits in these sections: Applications/Graphics Applications/Data Management where should it be located? Calendar programs? Is that Applications/Data Management? Simple calculators? Applications/Science/Mathematics seems kind of ... well there is not much science in small calculators. A program like xclock - where would it belong? Games/Toys? Programs to manage your dialup connection? is that Applications/System/Administration ? or somewhere under Applications/Network/ Similar for remote access programs. Comments welcome. oh - and if people want to study my silly perl: http://alioth.debian.org/~pusling-guest/desktop2menu.pl - comments on that also welcome, but probably private mail is better. /Sune -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Please elaborate. Hi! I thought it was basic knowledge what menu files are and what desktop files are. For menu files, read /usr/share/doc/menu/ for details For desktop files, read http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/ Menu files is a debian internal format for menu entries. desktop files is a fdo specification that does more or less the same, but in a different way. /Sune -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Compiz-fusion question
Hi! I have found that compiz-fusion in official debian repository is not complete (or is not compiz-fusion at all). It misses such things as ccsm (seems like compizconfig-settings-manager?). I believe there is some reason for this (why it is not included). What is the reason? :) Many potential and current users of debian are interesting in this question too so I think it would be great to have some website explaining such things (maybe "FAQ")... Or such site already exists? Thanks, Andriy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Qtopia Core, formerly Qt/Embedded, inherits the power and advantages of Qt 4. Trolltech's products remain ahead of the technology curve, freeing customers to focus on front-end value-adding innovation rather than maintaining the software infrastructure. With its powerful, rich and fully documented API, Qtopia Core offers the freedom to create and innovate. Device and application developers can efficiently differentiate their products by taking control of the user experience. Qtopia Core not only has minimal hardware dependencies and will run unchanged on most standard embedded Linux set-ups, but can also be easily customized to take advantage of hardware specific accelerations. cheers, Fathi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
