Hello folks,
I'm wondering about the current menu structure for the GIS applications. They
are all mixed up. I felt very comfortable with a Geospatial main menu and sub
entries for Desktop GIS, Servers, etc. Right now (5.0 beta1) it would be very
confusing for Starters to find intuitive the applications they like to try,
some apps are added to Science, some to Education, and all other in Others.
Some project application launchers are added twice.
I'm not very familiar withe the xubuntu desktop configuration, the install
script install_desctop.sh seems to do, what I would expect. Maybe it's missing
something to add Categories in /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu or something
like that. Any xubuntu Guru out there?
What do you think about the two enhancement tasks:
1. update menu structure to something like this:
Applications --> OSGeo Live --> Servers
--> Desktop GIS
--> .. some more
categories (like on the live 4.5 version)
2. create global replacements for the sphinx docs in conf.py, that every
project can use within the rst files, for example
.. |GS_START_MENU_PATH| replace:: `Geospatial --> server --> start
GeoServer`
Any suggestions?
Cheers, Frank
