Description Mark McLoughlin 2002-03-26 10:42:12 UTC
There is no way of editing a launcher's category using the launcher's
property dialog
Comment 1 Mark McLoughlin 2002-03-26 10:43:03 UTC
Okay, this is actually in libgnome-desktop
Comment 2 Arvind S N 2002-04-29 13:06:42 UTC
discussed with mark on irc, there could be issue of
whether changes made to the categories field should be 
dynamically reflected.waiting for mark to be back on line.
Comment 3 Luis Villa 2002-05-24 21:37:38 UTC
Mark: I'm unclear why this is high priority?
Comment 4 Alex Graveley 2002-05-24 21:43:36 UTC
There is no good way to do a GUI for this currently, because what we
really need is a list of all known keywords (or descriptions of what
they do), otherwise it will be an ugly comma separated list or something.

It also breaks UI and string freeze.

I think leaving this as a manual edit is fine for now.
Comment 5 George Lebl 2002-05-30 18:03:12 UTC
Yeah, it's fine to leave this off for now.  The vfolder proposal has a
list of allowed keywords, but those need to be better published and
then we need some nicer UI for this.  For file style editting of menus
we don't really need/want this since there the actual vfolder nature
is hidden from the user.  What we really want is to have a menu editting
"view" for nautilus that would handle correctly editting the vfolder
file including all the categories and all that fun kind of stuff.
Comment 6 Alex Graveley 2002-07-29 16:48:22 UTC
Closing as invalid, as this shouldn't be shown to the user, and no one
seems to really want it anyways.
