Re: Catorise: auto-sort applications menu
 

I de-installed catorise when the double icons popped uo, then I reinstalled and now I have triple icons. As I have 3desktops I can put a phone icon on each screen! thanks! :)

Re: Catorise: auto-sort applications menu
 

It's possible that having one of the extras-devel versions installed has caused this problem. To solve it (if you want to):

If you want further duplicate icons (e.g. for Phone):

Re: Catorise: auto-sort applications menu
 

I find it a great app, but has anyone noticed that the display orientation in the phone app doesn't follow the device orientation anymore after Catorise is installed.

I discovered it with 0.6.0 (from extras-testing, leading to bug 8497) as well as with 0.7.3 from extras-devel.

As described in above bug report, with 0.6.0 I reached the situation in which the display orientation abusively did rotate outside the phone app (and didn't rotate back), yielding an application menu with icons beyond the screen boundaries.

Anyone knows why?

Re: Catorise: auto-sort applications menu
 

Just wanted to say thanks.

Apparently the newest stable version fixes an error where some desktop icons (e.g., phone & mail) didn't trigger the respective applications (instead nothing happened at all).

Re: Catorise: auto-sort applications menu
 

Many thanks for this, it is looking like a much better menu implementation than what Nokia has offered so far.

However, many of my apps aren't getting categorised. Xournal, Conky, the emulators, Panucci, and others only appear in the 'All' category. I tried reinstalling Conky and now it does appear in the correct place, but I really don't want to reinstall everything. Any idea what might be wrong?

Re: Catorise: auto-sort applications menu
 

Can you run, as root, /opt/catorise/catorise configure and see if that helps?

Re: Catorise: auto-sort applications menu
 

Yes, that did it. I think now they're all in the right place.

Re: Catorise: auto-sort applications menu
 

What it needs is the function for the operator to organise the menu to their preference 8(

Re: Catorise: auto-sort applications menu
 

Could you send me the output of:

Thanks in advance.

Re: Catorise: auto-sort applications menu
 

Here it is.

Hey Jaffa,

Any idea why freeciv does not get put into the games folder?

When I run configure I get the following:

Re: Catorise: auto-sort applications menu
 

Is this only for the N900, or can it run on the N80 and 810?

I have an 800, and tried to install it with apt-get, but got 'couldn't find package catorise' error message. :confused:

What am I doing wrong?, and I hope this isn't too stupid a question.

Re: Catorise: auto-sort applications menu
 

No, only for N900. Maemo4 has a different menu system.

Re: Catorise: auto-sort applications menu
 

Maemo4 menus are already grouped and editable. So there's no need for catorise there.

Re: Catorise: auto-sort applications menu
 

Can you do:

Also, what version are you using?

Re: Catorise: auto-sort applications menu
 

Is there a way to change the font color for Catorise?

Re: Catorise: auto-sort applications menu
 

Hi Jaffa

Bug report:
The menu colour doesn't update when changing theme. I.e. Set Digital Nature theme -> Install Catorise (orange menu items) -> Set Nokia NSeries theme -> Still orange menu items, should be blue.

I can get the menu to change colour by doing /opt/catorise/catorise configure.

Cheers

Re: [Maemo 5] Catorise: auto-sort applications menu
 

if i use the catorize with the maemo theme i wont have the same icons as the file manager right ?

Re: Catorise: auto-sort applications menu
 

Yeah, known issue.

Interesting. I'd've guessed at a reboot or a killall hildon-desktop being the only way to do it.

Re: Catorise: auto-sort applications menu
 

If this is Catorise 0.7.3 (in Extras-testing), I've reworked the optimisations to reduce the amount of time added to package install/uninstall.

0.7.4 will include that fix after some internal testing.

Re: [Maemo 5] Catorise: auto-sort applications menu
 

Jaffa, did you had time to look at the display orientation bug I reported in post 123. Have you tried it or is it a known issue? Thanx.

Re: [Maemo 5] Catorise: auto-sort applications menu
 

I can't reproduce #8497 at all, I'm afraid.

The /etc/xdg/menus/hildon.menu file of a device suffering this issue would be key, I think.

Re: [Maemo 5] Catorise: auto-sort applications menu
 

The /etc/xdg/menus/hildon.menu file is about organization/hierarchy of the menus and placement of the icons, not about rotating and display orientation? Or is it?

Anyway, I tried again installing 0.7.3 (now from extras-testing) and the issue/bug I pointed out is easy to reproduce. However, after running /opt/catorise/catorise configure (which I had to do because several icons/apps seem not to be categorized as reported by qw3rty), the problem vanished. Given this, the root cause of this issue might be beyond the scope of Catorise.

Can you, Jaffa, by the way explain why you made the set of specific /usr/share/applications/hildon/catorise-*.desktop files? Thanx in advance.

Re: [Maemo 5] Catorise: auto-sort applications menu
 

Yes, but applications with X-Maemo-Prestarted=always in their .desktop files (such as Phone) cause weirdness if they don't have exactly one entry in the menu (and similar for the .desktop files). This is bug #8111 which I've made the hildon-desktop developers aware of.

Also, 0.7.4 now in extras-testing has refactored the optimisation such that it always indexes all package's .desktop files rather than trying to detect new packages. By doing a hack or two, I got that indexing down to ~1 second.

Bugs #8111 and #8328.

Re: [Maemo 5] Catorise: auto-sort applications menu
 

Hello,

After the update (in extras testing) from 0.7.3 to 0.7.4 my n900 menu lost the "Others" folder :confused:
I use the Others to put the easy debian program shortcuts (by editing "/opt/catorize/menu") and now they are in "System"

Can I have the menu back or make any other custom folder?


Tnx in advance!

Re: [Maemo 5] Catorise: auto-sort applications menu
 

Andrew - I have a bunch of 'dummy' .desktop files I use for e.g. ssh sessions. These are not categorized by catorise. Is there any chance you could stuff these into the 'other' category by default?

FWIW I get the same error as atunguyd above. I store them in /usr/share/applications/hildon

Re: [Maemo 5] Catorise: auto-sort applications menu
 

Anything in "Others" is viewed as sub-optimal (e.g. poor packaging) so it will always attempt to recategorise them. This is obviously problematic for your use case.

I can't think of a good way of solving this at the moment without you hacking in /opt/catorise/catorise (modify %validSections and add a new /opt/catorise/share/mynewsection.directory).

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Re: [Maemo 5] Catorise: auto-sort applications menu
 

Can you send me one of the .desktops? It could be the Type or Display entries prevent Catorise (or hildon-desktop!) from showing it.

Re: [Maemo 5] Catorise: auto-sort applications menu
 

Here ya go:

*Edit* looks like a missing Display tag may be the problem??

Re: [Maemo 5] Catorise: auto-sort applications menu
 

Ta. Nothing looks really odd there.

Nah, it'd be a problem if it had NoDisplay=true. Is it included in /opt/catorise/menu and is it shown in All?

Re: [Maemo 5] Catorise: auto-sort applications menu
 

Yup. No problems there. Any way to force it into another menu via a tag?

Re: [Maemo 5] Catorise: auto-sort applications menu
 

http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...549#post513549 - this reminded me - is your shortcut in /usr/share/applications/hildon or under /home/user/.local?

If the latter, that'll explain it and then it's an easy fix to make Catorise support them (although raising a bug, so I don't forget, would be appreciated).

Re: [Maemo 5] Catorise: auto-sort applications menu
 

I like to point out a bug for Catorise. When i load up about 15apps at the same time...and then go back to Catorise to check the menu....I see an "RSS" feed icon replacing where it says "ALL" and then every icons is unclickable. The RSS icon should be in "OTHER" category but it jumps to "ALL"

Re: [Maemo 5] Catorise: auto-sort applications menu
 

Sorry, I didn't quite follow you - could you raise a bug with the exact sequence of steps you took. It's handy in such situations to assume I'm an idiot :-)

Re: [Maemo 5] Catorise: auto-sort applications menu
 

It's the former, unfortunately. Is this a bug?

Re: [Maemo 5] Catorise: auto-sort applications menu
 

no problems here?! ^^
just opened over 20 apps... catorise shows everything correctly :)

Re: [Maemo 5] Catorise: auto-sort applications menu
 

Yeah, could you raise one; attaching the desktop file, the /opt/catorise/menu and /etc/xdg/menus/hildon.menu files; exactly where you've put it and where you see it and where you don't.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Re: [Maemo 5] Catorise: auto-sort applications menu
 

Hi Jaffa,

I love the Catorise menu. But you can you add a few changes please:

1) I dont like the way the menu is structured. You basically have 3 open slots after "Other". This is ok, but its a little ugly. I suggest the following changes:

a) Can you center the "Utilities" and "Other" in the middle, so it doesnt look so out of place

b) Or can you add the main functions on the main menu, so its all ever 5x3 icons. I suggest maybe "Phone", "Conversations" and "Email" in the front of the menu???

2) Location & navig. I Really dont like this as again, its out of place.

a) Firstly, can you not have "navig" in capitals, like "Navig". It looks much better this way.

b) Secondly, Can you not have "Location & Navigation? I assume not, due to space issues, if not how about:

c) "Location/Navigation". Removing the " & " should give you a few extra characters where you can fit both words?

Apart from that, its a great little menu!. I love it. Just a few suggestions from me to make it look even "nicer"

A quick question too please Jaffa:

1) Will a feature come where you can move icons about in the menu?

Re: [Maemo 5] Catorise: auto-sort applications menu
 

Just install applications from all categories listed in the Application Manager. :)

Catorise really doesn't have the control over Hildon Desktop's display over items you think it does.

Re: [Maemo 5] Catorise: auto-sort applications menu
 

The translations come from your locale. Unfortunately, hildon-desktop won't wrap labels. I've raised #8955 which affects Catorise, GPE FIle Manager and Countdown Timer (on my system alone).

Possibly. You can do it at the moment by editing /opt/catorise/menu, but a GUI override is a possibility.
