Catorise or MyMenu problem
 

I recently switched from mymenu to catorise. At first I thought catorise was very bad as most of the applications are uncategorized and fall under the "All" folder. I tried to run catorise from terminal as root to re-update the menu structure, and attached is the output.

Is this is a bug with catorise or mymenu messed my files up?:confused:

Can you do:

Thanks in advance. What version of Catorise are you using?

Re: Catorise or MyMenu problem
 

output is:

I'm using version 0.7.3

I tried to add Games category to angry birds desktop file, only then it showed up under games

Re: Catorise or MyMenu problem
 

Running "/opt/catorise/catorise configure" as root solved the uncategorized apps problem for me after installation.

Re: Catorise or MyMenu problem
 

Awesome! Thanks a lot it worked!

Re: Catorise or MyMenu problem
 

The worrying question is why it didn't work in the first place. Did you have a prior version of Catorise installed? It's possible there's a bug in the upgrade path of postinst...

Re: Catorise or MyMenu problem
 

Can catorise mess up anything? Delete icons and so on if i use it?
If possible, will it revert back to its original state if i choose to uninstall it?

Nice app! Thanks a bunch!

Re: Catorise or MyMenu problem
 

No, it should be fine. In the very worse case (that I've had when I've broken things during development) you can turn R&D mode on, disable the lifeguard reset and uninstall the package.

If you uninstall it it will revert to the state it was in when you installed it. No files, apart from /etc/xdg/menus/hildon.menu are edited by Catorise.

Thanks man! =)
Keep up the good work!

Catorise is strange appl. It was great in the past but right now when I try to install new version it doesn't show all basic folders and appl so I have to use MyMenu

Re: Catorise or MyMenu problem
 

I assume you're using the version in Extras-testing given other people have mentioned vaguely similar things (without any reproduction instructions). If that's true, you've implicitly accepted the covenant to test the app and provide feedback to ensure the software is ready for release.

I also assume you realise that not everyone will see the same issues as you so, in that light, you've raised a bug report?

Re: Catorise or MyMenu problem
 

This happened since the very first time I installed Catorise. I'm not sure if there was an update later though, sorry can't remember. I searched however before posting this thread and couldn't find any similar case, except when TNiga mentioned it.

Re: Catorise or MyMenu problem
 

same as some of you I have many apps not being categorized.

Regarding the command "/opt/catorise/catorise configure"

I'm just writing it in the xterminal and after a few hashes I'm getting :

" Permission denied at /opt/catorise/catorise line 158"

help anyone :S soz I'm still a newbie

Re: Catorise or MyMenu problem
 

You have to do it as root.
Install rootsh if you haven't, type "sudo gainroot" without the quotes, then the catorise command

Re: Catorise or MyMenu problem
 

thanks mate. Some apps got categorized but others such as bounce, angry birds and more are still only found in ALL. have any idea why am I still doing something wrong ?

thanks for the patience btw

Re: Catorise or MyMenu problem
 

These 2 apps should fall under Ovi

If not, then wait for Jaffa's reply, I think he's catorise's developer ;)

Re: Catorise or MyMenu problem
 

hah yes. there they are. Thanks for the help :)

Re: Catorise or MyMenu problem
 

no prob :)

Re: Catorise or MyMenu problem
 

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 in such a way that the most likely cause of this bug (those optimisations) will no longer be present.

0.7.4 will include that fix after some internal testing.
