  • Re: Packaging icons in a DEB

    From Hans@21:1/5 to All on Tue Aug 6 17:48:32 2024
    A tricky solution, and maybe the worst one:

    Install the package anbd create an icon in KDE. Look were it is residing, I believe it is mostly under ~/username/Desktop/

    If you know, where it is )or where shall it be after package instrallation), edit postinst of the package in that way, that it will copy or move your *.desktop, where it shall go.


    It is just an idea, and I am sure, there is a much better way.

    Hope someone else will answer to this question, too.

    Best

    Hans

    Hello everyone,




    I'm trying to create a deb file that will install icons in the menu. I've created .desktop files and placed them under /usr/share/applications. These icons do appear, but under KDE, they appear under the "Lost and found" category. I have not been able to find a guide on how to control which category they should appear under.




    Ideally, they should appear under a new category (more accurately, a sub-category) I create.




    If anyone can direct me to a guide, that would be very helpful.




    Thank you,

    Shachar

    Check this.

    https://specifications.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/category-registry.html

    I think the idea is that anything that is outside of the already defined categories just appears in a miscellaneous section of the menu.

    Why do you want to define a new category?
