The best you can do then is dump them all into a Wine category, which would be assumed from the path in the same way that the Gnome menu assumes Wine apps go into the Wine subfolders. The user can then prune the cruft.
That still leaves a lot of problems of course - Windows apps like to put a lot more than a single link to themselves since they expect to be in subfolders, and there's no way to programatically determine which is the "right" one the user wants. Making a massive database of categories for Wine apps like Mark alluded to earlier has been suggested before, but it's also fairly unworkable: we still have the problem of what to do with the other links a program might make, and as long as some apps aren't covered the user will reasonably expect ALL their apps to appear in the Wine category. Relatedly, I had plans (and an initial, now non-applying implementation) of a way for Wine apps to appear in Software Center, however in that case it was only the uninstallers. I would still like for this to happen "eventually", as a unified way of removing software and being able to get rid of the Wine uninstaller link. -- Wine applications not listed in Unity Applications Place https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/635223 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
