I have been using audio creation software to compose and mix my tracks in Fedora for while now. Believe it or not, we have a wide range of applications and libraries dedicated to audio production. See the AudioCreation wiki page [1] for a list of our applications (however, this list is not complete, so if you own such an application or library, feel free to add it to our list). A while ago, it occurred to me that the audio production applications go into the Multimedia group in the desktop menu, mixing up with audio/video players (we also have a wide range of such applications), and making this group rather cluttered. But the audio production programs have a unique target audience, and their nature is really different from the audio/video players. I am thinking of listing these programs under a different group in the desktop menu, which will make the Multimedia group look sane and make both type of applications more accessible. What is the procedure of doing this? As far as I can tell, whenever a .desktop file contains the "AudioVideo" category, that applications goes to the Multimedia group. But where is this actually done? What application looks at the .desktop files and sorts them according to their categories? And how can we add a new group to the desktop menu? Possible suggestions for the name of such a group are: - Audio Creation - Compose and Mix - Studio - ...? We will need to work out the existing desktop applications and add a new category to their .desktop files so they will fall under this newly created group in the menu. We can use some of these categories for this purpose: - Midi - Sequencer - Tuner - AudioVideoEditing - X-Studio - X-...? Finally, is it too late to propose this for F-11?
