Hi,
Again, when developing new version of ezgo, which is based on Kubuntu
15.10, I got the same problem:
With the following environment variables set:
XDG_MENU_PREFIX=ezgo-
XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/etc/xdg
XDG_DATA_DIRS=/usr/share:/usr/share/kde-plasma:/usr/share/ezgo/ezgo-menu:/usr/local/share
In Kubuntu 15.10 live, the menu behavior is:
- Main menu layout and desktop-directories followed
/etc/xdg/menus/kf5-applications.menu
- The desktop files were read from /usr/share/ezgo/ezgo-menu/applications
(which I defined in the /etc/xdg/menus/ezgo-applications.menu, and the
zh_TW name in this folder were changed)
- If I define the ezgo-*.directory file in kf5-applications.menu without
specifying any new <AppDir>, it still works. That means the
ezgo-applications.menu were read, but seemed to be overwritten by
kf5-applications.menu.
In the XDG menu spec v1.1-draft (same in v1.0) it said,
<XDG_MENU_SPEC>
$XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/menus/${XDG_MENU_PREFIX}applications.menu
This file contains the XML definition of the main application menu layout.*
The first file found in the search path should be used; other files are
ignored. *This implies that if the user has their own
${XDG_MENU_PREFIX}applications.menu, it replaces the system wide one.
(Though the user's menu may explicitly merge the system wide one.)
Systems that offer multiple desktop environments and that want to use
distinct menu layouts in the different environments can use differently
prefixed .menu files. In this case the$XDG_MENU_PREFIX environment variable
must be set by the system to reflect the .menu file that is being used.
For example if a system contains both the GNOME and the KDE desktop
environments it can decide to use gnome-applications.menu as the menu
layout in GNOME sessions and kde-applications.menu as the menu layout in
KDE sessions. To correctly reflect this, it should set the $XDG_MENU_PREFIX
environment variable to "gnome-" respectively "kde-".
</XDG_MENU_SPEC>
Any idea about the XDG menu spec implementation in kf5 or plasma5? Any
help will be very appreciated.
Thanks,
Franklin
