Re: Catorise: auto-sort applications menu
 

What about watching a file in the theme folder with inotify?

Re: Catorise: auto-sort applications menu
 

Damn.

Indeed; that's why 0.0.1 didn't work with other themes.

As Bundyo says, perhaps inotify on /etc/hildon/theme would work; but ideally I'd like some kind of system invocation so that there's nothing running in the background 24/7.

Oh man, that is ugly hack. Suppose so that the software wouldn't be visible in HAM and only ovi-webgui would be used..

Re: Catorise: auto-sort applications menu
 

Just for fun, I reflashed my N900 yesterday and set everything up fresh.

Catorise doesn't work now, though it is listed as an installed app by app manager.

I had installed it before as a deb and from Qole's repository etc. and it was working fine.

Edit: My mistake: the "more" with uncategorized programs seems to be back. Otherwise, the program seems to work fine. I would prefer an Other or Misc. folder to the More.

Re: Catorise: auto-sort applications menu
 

happy to report that my catorise survived the OTA update to PR1.1 today and is working happily :) thanks

Re: Catorise: auto-sort applications menu
 

Can you define "doesn't work", please? If possible, can you run /opt/catorise/catorise as root in X Terminal (and send me the output, if any) and the files /opt/catorise/menu and /etc/xdg/menus/hildon.menu/

I think you're confused, as Catorise has only ever existed in Extras-devel. manzn's MyMenu was available as a deb and in qole's repo.

If anyone (doesn't have to be a programmer) wants to help reverse engineer the translation IDs Application Manager uses, I think I can reuse them.

That'd turn "More..." into "Other".

If it makes it any better, hildon-home watches /etc/hildon/theme. (Then again, hildon-home is expected to be running 24/7, which is your point, I guess...)
Status area plugin? :p (Yes, I know...)

Re: Catorise: auto-sort applications menu
 

before i updated to PR1.1 I removed catorise now I've reinstalled it again all my category folders are now in correct order.
I tried same on 1.01 but did not work, so not sure if its a change in PR1.1 that fixed it

Re: Catorise: auto-sort applications menu
 

Ah, of course. That could be it - my screenshots were taken using 2.2009.51-1 and so it's likely that as part of the fix for #6932 the behaviour on which I rely for ordering the top-level sections was also fixed.

Thanks for the reassurance! I can now concentrate on using the i18n keys from qwerty12 without worrying about non-determinism :-)

BTW, anyone have any thoughts on where "Conversations" and "Phone" should live? I've currently got them under "Utilities", but that doesn't quite seem right. "Network" perhaps? (phone network/human networking/IP-based comms)
