file roller is not a "system tool".
Last modified: 2006-01-15 15:14:13 UTC
Distribution: Debian testing/unstable Package: file-roller Severity: minor Version: GNOME2.6. 2.5.x Gnome-Distributor: GNOME.Org Synopsis: file roller is not a "system tool". Bugzilla-Product: file-roller Bugzilla-Component: general Bugzilla-Version: 2.5.x Description: Description of Problem: File-roller is not a 'system tool'. Manipulating archives does not necessarily have anything to do with system administration. I suggest it should be rather filed under "accessoires" unless a generic "tools" section is added. ------- Bug moved to this database by unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org 2004-04-13 08:31 ------- Unknown platform unknown. Setting to default platform "Other". Unknown milestone "unknown" in product "file-roller". Setting to default milestone for this product, '---' Setting to default status "UNCONFIRMED". Setting qa contact to the default for this product. This bug either had no qa contact or an invalid one.
This bug is related to the bug #131247 - someone offered, that an archiver is a System Tool (maybe because old gnome archiving tool was in this category, look at http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/gnome-utils/meat-grinder/archive-generator.desktop.in?rev=1.9&only_with_tag=gnome-2-2&view=markup) and now lots of people don't find achiving utility in GNOME (for example look at bugreport #153005 or at this email: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2002-May/msg00385.html ) :( I also think, that manipulating archives does not have anything to do with the system administration. System tool is a tool, that affect the whole OS or the whole desktop, like a system monitor. Other archiving tools, for example KDE ark is also in the Utility category. So, please, apply attached patch to file-roller.desktop.in ASAP.
Created attachment 32064 [details] [review] Patch, which moves File-Roller from System-Tools to Accessories
*** Bug 153005 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I also agree, that file-roller should be in Accessories, not in System Tools, now it's pretty hard to find archiving tool in GNOME :(
I agree too, is usability on this?
any way to get this trivial change commited ?
there was a discussion on irc about this issue (this is in bugzilla too, but I don't know its number) and the conclusion was that an archive manager is a System Tool (it was in the Accessories category once), so this is a WONTFIX.
Please explain, what justification was given for this!
So, someone has finally moved file-roller from system tools to utilities. Thanks.
that's a distro patch, reopening
fixed in CVS.
