(You'll probably also need to read the rest of that spec too, if
you're not
familiar with it.)
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'?
That's what the second bullet point in the link is referring to-- when
you add a new submenu, you have to add a new menu file to $sysconfdir/
desktop/menus/applications-merged that describes which menu items
should appear in it.
For example, on my system I have a file called /etc/xdg/menus/
applications-merged/ggz.menu, which looks like this:
<!DOCTYPE Menu PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD Menu 0.8//EN"
"http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/menu-spec/menu-0.8.dtd";>
<Menu>
<Name>GGZ Gaming Zone</Name>
<Directory>ggz.directory</Directory>
<Include>
<Category>X-GGZ</Category>
</Include>
<Menu>
<Name>GGZ Games</Name>
<Directory>ggz-games.directory</Directory>
<Include>
<Category>X-GGZ-Games</Category>
</Include>
</Menu>
</Menu>
This defines a submenu called "GGZ Gaming Zone", on which applications
of .desktop file Category "X-GGZ-Games" will appear. The
"ggz.directory" file referred to in the third line is /usr/share/
desktop-directories/ggz-directory, which looks like this:
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Directory
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=GGZ Gaming Zone
GenericName=
Comment=
Icon=ggz
