Re: [ANNOUNCE] Catorise PLUS - create your menu like you want
 

Hi, love the premise and appreciate the work you've put in. Sadly (for reasons of which I'm happy to accept are probably my own - being an end-user for all my well meaning attempts to get to grips with the inner workings of this marvellous machine) it's not working for me.
I think it all went wonky when I deleted all the preset categories, wanting to intuitively work my way back up, as it were. Despite creating new categories, sub-categories, moving apps around, refreshing, rebooting I'm stuck with the original hildon menu, except now it's doubled up - I have twice as many apps, or rather, duplicates of each.
Furthermore, no categories I create are appearing, and in the GUI of CatorisePLUS the landscape value is about 5 times too wide for my screen resulting in me having to scroll for millenia to see which app I've selected to place in a category I can't make exist. I've had a little whisk through this thread, but i've not noticed anyone having this problem. Any ideas on what i've done to ruin your app? :P

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Catorise PLUS - create your menu like you want
 

I had some trouble getting Catorise Plus to work but it is working well for me now. (Latest version.)

I am running CSSU and power kernel.

The first time I *changed* existing categories and after finishing all my customizations discovered that somehow Application Manager was trashed. The application menu had gone, replaced by a message "No applications installed", and no shortcuts on my desktop worked (existing ones or new ones). However the applications themselves seemed to be working as the desktop widgets were working normally and I could open some applications that way, I just couldn't open any application using shortcuts.

I used <shift><ctrl> <x> to bring up terminal (I had no other way of doing it) and uninstalled Catorise Plus. The application menu reappeared and all my shortcuts were functioning again.

I tried installing Catorise Plus again and this time left all existing categories alone. I simply added new ones for the ones I wanted, and didn't modify or delete any existing ones. It isn't necessary to delete any as if there is an unused category it simply doesn't appear on the application menu. Now I have just the application menu categories I want and all my applications launch from the categories I have designated. All is smooth and good.

The application is still rather buggy, then. I would recommend not touching existing categories when you install Catorise Plus. Just add the ones you need; the others will be ignored if you make sure they are empty.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Catorise PLUS - create your menu like you want
 

Finally figured it out - you can just put programs in the 'All' category if you don't want them appearing in other categories....

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Catorise PLUS - create your menu like you want
 

After doing just a few operations it starts to get horribly slow, just about unusable :(

(i got a shitload of stuff installed, that's probably a factor)

edit:seems mostly the issue happens when creating subfolders (sorry it took so long to post this edit)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Catorise PLUS - create your menu like you want
 

Btw, anyone else getting
when installing and uninstalling things?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Catorise PLUS - create your menu like you want
 

first remove completely catorise and catorise gui. Then rebbot and install catorise plus. It should work.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Catorise PLUS - create your menu like you want
 

thanx for the repl.i tried this many times but doesnt worked :(
any other solution?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Catorise PLUS - create your menu like you want
 

Apparently some firmwares don't have perl-modules installed by default. Since I thought they did, Catorise doesn't depend on it.

So, if you install it manually you should be good to go.

Alternatively, apt-get install catorise in X Terminal should give you more info.

thanx man for the reply.i tried to install it manually but it gives:

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Catorise PLUS - create your menu like you want
 

try installing catoriseplus it might be different after enabling extras-devel repo ( at your own risk !!! )
Good luck

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Catorise PLUS - create your menu like you want
 

Nothing worked :(
still giving the same error :(
any thing else that may work?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Catorise PLUS - create your menu like you want
 

Try doing the install for catorise again now. The issue is that the modules needed were not installed. Since it tired to do the setup for catorise before the setup for the modules, it was still absent. One more run with the command like should fix it.

Edit: My bad.

dpkg -S gettext.pm reports the file you seek comes from the package liblocale-gettext-perl. Try installing that...

To be clear:

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Catorise PLUS - create your menu like you want
 

thanx for the reply.
Which command are talking about :confused:

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Catorise PLUS - create your menu like you want
 

What have you done man???
my N900 is totally erased...:confused:

Just joking ;) (dont mind)
Amazing man that worked.Thank you very much for the help:)
You are a legend :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Catorise PLUS - create your menu like you want
 

guys, need some help here

i'm using a bnw wallpaper on my n900
i'm not using blur if the menu appears, so the carorise's white icons/text labels in some places on the picture, not visible

i want to add some black shadow to the menu icons and labels

is this possible?
and how?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Catorise PLUS - create your menu like you want
 

How do you arrange or sort categories? For example, sort category by alphabetical order or just customize yourself.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Catorise PLUS - create your menu like you want
 

I have the same question, i.e. how to sort/rearrange the categories in the main menu. Namely, I added one category and renamed another one, and now they're positioned at the end of the main "menu".

Also, how can app icons be refreshed? Sometimes the icon of a newly installed app is just some default rectangular icon (also, the same now applies to the two categories mentioned above). Is there some icon-cache reset or something like that? (This is probably not Catorise Plus related, as I've encountered it before.)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Catorise PLUS - create your menu like you want
 

Locate and edit the icons?

I've always done that by restarting the device. Crude but works.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Catorise PLUS - create your menu like you want
 

Hi,
I installed the latest version Catorise. There was no division of icons in the menu, but they are still unsorted. I tried to uninstall and reinstall, but still behaves the same. Is there any possibility to sort the icons in the menu?

Thank you

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Catorise PLUS - create your menu like you want
 

Restarting did indeed solve the category icons. However, some of the app icons (an issue from before) remained unchanged.

One more thing... do categories need to be named in "ai_category_SomeName" format? I see the default names are in this format, but when I added another one in this format, it would be literally called that way in the main menu. So I only entered the proper name later on.

Also, two categories (one that was created by me, and another one that I renamed) are at the end of the main menu. How can I fix this? Is it related to "ai_category_SomeName" format?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Catorise PLUS - create your menu like you want
 

I've added an icon for Octave but the item doesn't seem to want to appear in Catorise Plus. it does shows up properly in the "All" category (outside of Catorise) when browsing the applications though. My .desktop file (in /usr/share/applications/hildon/) is as follows:
Have anyone had this kind of issue and how do you remedy it? From where does Catorise Plus generate its list and is there a way to manually refresh it? Tried rebooting a few times but no luck.

Also, as far as I've understood Catorise is supposed to read the "Categories" key (if available) and categorise it accordingly, is that correct?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Catorise PLUS - create your menu like you want
 

I had the same problem, and tried to solved it without desinstalling, but no chance. But with desinstall, it worked for me.

sudo apt-get remove catoriseplus
sudo rm -R /opt/catorise
sudo apt-get install catoriseplus

Maybe you might want to copy your /opt/catorise in /opt/catoriseback

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Catorise PLUS - create your menu like you want
 

bump .

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Catorise PLUS - create your menu like you want
 

Sorry to bring back to life this very old thread, but does someone know what is the command executed when hitting the save button on the Catorise Plus GUI?
It doesn't work for me, I mean the changes made aren't taken into account, and I blame the sudoers file, as I've made some changes to always ask for a password (except a few cases).
I created a catorise rule which says to not ask a password for /opt/catorise/catorise and if I execute that command with sudo, the changes made in Catorise Plus GUI are taken into account. So I presume that the save button from the GUI is executing another command to refresh the menu.

So what is that command so I can add it to the sudoers file.

Thanks.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Catorise PLUS - create your menu like you want
 

It will get saved in:

and will get refreshed with this command:

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Catorise PLUS - create your menu like you want
 

Thanks for the info.
So I suppose that I can't add that command into a sudoers file so that a password won't be asked (meaning the command will be executed properly) when Catorise Plus tries to refresh the menu.
Now a password is asked when executing the root command, and I prefer it that way.
If there is no easy way to achieve what I want I will just have to manually execute "sudo /opt/catorise/catorise" after making the changes in Catorise Plus GUI (not that often) and saving them (it seems to work this way, but it is not "ideal").

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Catorise PLUS - create your menu like you want
 

No problem.

As far as I know this is not possible.

I am with you.

You need to change the source code. There you have several options. But which one is secure?

If you would like to use the sudoers file you could point in the source to a script which you put in the sudoers file or start catorise as root.

Btw there is another root command when you make a new category.
Some picture will be copied.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Catorise PLUS - create your menu like you want
 

So simplest solution would be to create a (sh) script to call catorise gui and on finishing call your sudo command.
And put this script into the desktop file to start from menu.
?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Catorise PLUS - create your menu like you want
 

Sadly the only code I kind of understand and can try to "play" with is shell scripting (and my knowledge remains basic).

Could be a solution... but as I don't often change the category of the apps I have, nor install too many apps, I think that I would simply execute the command to refresh the menu after saving the changes in Catorise Plus GUI (when the need to change the category of an app really exists). It's ok this way for now.
