Summary: Review Request: sooperlooper - Realtime software looping sampler https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=307821 ------- Additional Comments From nando@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 2007-10-01 20:04 EST ------- (In reply to comment #4) > The place to look when deciding what to do with the Categories field in a > .desktop file is: http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apa.html Thanks, perfect... In fact, the latest version of one of the Fedora packages in my build environment is actually complaining about "Application" and stopping the build with an error :-) > Notice that there are main categories and sub categories. An application must > always have atleast one main category, and may have as many subcategories as one > one wants. > > In the case of audio applications, there also is this note in the table: > Audio An audio application Desktop entry must include AudioVideo as well > > So the minimal Categories field for an audio app is: > Categories=AudioVideo;Audio; > > Notice no Application!, Application is not a valid Category. > > If you want to further give hints for the menus what kind of application this is > , the following sub categories are candidates: > > Midi An app related to MIDI > Mixer Just a mixer > Sequencer A sequencer > Tuner A tuner > TV A TV application > AudioVideoEditing Application to edit audio/video files > Player Application to play audio/video files > Recorder Application to record audio/video files > > If that is not fine grained enough using X-foo Categories is a good solution. This is what I'm currently using (prepending "X-" to each, "_" is automatically changed to " " for the menu titles). Overlaps with the existing Freedesktop categories noted between square brackets: Audio_Tools Mixers [Mixer] Digital_Processing Drumming DSSI_Plugins Graphics_Apps <I used to use this, not any longer, I think> Jack LADSPA_Plugins Lash MIDI [Midi] Miscellanea Multitrack Notation Players [Player] Programming Recorders [Recorder] Sequencers [Sequencer] Soundcard_Tools Editors Synthesis Trackers Video > As for adding some kinda finer grained menu for Audio stuff, take a look at the > games-menus package, that already does that for the Games menu. That's very good, I'll take a look and see how we could make that structure work for audio/music/midi apps. Do you think something like this would work for sooperlooper?: ---- # desktop file categories BASE="AudioVideo Audio" XTRA="X-Digital_Processing X-Jack X-MIDI Midi" ---- I erased Application, X-Fedora, etc and added Audio and Midi, but kept the X- tags I'm currently using so that the application stays in the proper place for users that have planetccrma-menus already installed. I could change planetccrma-menus to account for the overlap so that eventually something like "X-MIDI" can be dropped from the apps (and from planetccrma-menus or whatever it is called), and "Midi" used instead exclusively. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
