I had posted on fedora-devel mailing list about this idea a while ago, but the discussion didn't last long: http://www.linux-archive.org/fedora-development/266281-adding-new-group-desktop-menu-fedora-studio.html In short, currently all our audio/video players/editors are cluttering the Multimedia group of the desktop menu. Since players and editors are very different in nature and Audio/Video creation software have their own target audience, I am proposing to list them under a different group in the desktop menu. This way both type of applications will become more accessible. I am primarily interested in Audio Creation software and currently we have enough packages to have our own group: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/AudioCreation To achieve this we will need to modify the desktop files of our packages to add some category which will be picked up by the menu applets and place them in the Audio Creation group. I am planning to make a new feature draft page on Fedora wiki in the near future and present it to FESCo so that we can have a Fedora Studio by F-12. There are a few choices we need to make along the way: - Should we include Video creation applications in this group too? - What shall we call the group in the menu? Studio, Audio Creation, A/V Creation...? - What desktop file category(ies) shall we use? The standard categories we can use are Midi, Mixer, Sequencer, Tuner, AudioVideoEditing. We can also use some artificial category such as X-Studio, X-AudioCreation, ... Note that when a desktop file contains AudioVideo the application goes to the Multimedia group. Who would want to participate in this project? Please share your comments, opinions, ...
