/usr/share/applications/, any particular reason why it isn't included in

Well https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=156677#c4 is why it
(and oomath) was marked as NoDisplay=true on the urging of the then
UI/UX-team.


While I would agree about OOo Math, I think the decision to hide Draw is
shortsighted, and based on a misunderstanding of the nature of the
program. It is not analogous to the draw features in MS Office, where
the drawing functionality is entirely subordinate to the context of Word
or Excel. OOo Draw is a fully fledged document-centric vector drawing
application, and definitely deserves its own menu item.


Actually that's what one of the users who complained about it told me. Apparently Draw is very good at making diagrams, where Inkscape is better suited for other (more advanced) drawing tools. Sure you can still make diagrams in Inkscape, but apparently it is fairly easy to do them in Draw. I think it would be a good idea to give Draw its own menu entry. Now as to per that bugzilla "convention" the name for it should only be "Draw!" or "Drawing Tool" and to avoid confusion maybe a comment along the lines of "A document centric drawing tool, that uses the open document format" or some such.
