Hi,
I know it is possible to customize the menu in Gnome. But I am wondering if
it is also possible to send applications to a specific place in the menu?
For example, I want to add an entry in the menu called 'multimedia players'.
Is it possible to manage it so that apps like Rhythmbox, Listen etc. are
placed in the new entry when they are installed?
Thank you very much!
Those .desktop files seems to play a important role in this.
To point applications to my new menu entry, should I edit the .desktop.in in the source code (tarball) of a package?
And let say I want to make a multimedia distro with some new entries for:
Midi
Recording
How do I point a specific application to that new entry in my menu?
A example of a .desktop.in I found in the Ardour source code (tarball):
[Desktop Entry]I think Categories specify the place of the application (Ardour) in the Menu. But How can I specify that Ardour should be placed in my new menu entry 'Recording'?
Name=Ardour
Comment=Ardour Digital Audio Workstation
Exec=ardour2
Icon=ardour2
Terminal=false
MimeType=application/x-ardour2;
Type=Application
Categories=AudioVideo;Audio;X-Recorders;X-Multitrack;X-Jack;
Thanks in advance,
\r
