@manzn
maybe you can use the new icons from the updated program manager.
they look nice (maybe same categories, too?)

Everything looks fine here so far, no reboots, I updated automatically this morning before I even knew you guys were having this problem. Actually, I was reading this post and the update process was taking place, then I got worried but it was too late to cancel it, luckly, everything seems fine.

I have not rebooted it yet, neither I have pressed the update icon under settings.

I found an update in App Manager this morning for MyMenu and updated, now have the constant rebooting problem and will need to reflash the firmware when I get back home tonight. Oh the joys of development application testing

Is anyone actually working on the "show the categories and apps within them based off the category information in the package"?

Hardcoding apps to categories is so godawfully ugly from an architectural point of view, and can hardly scale once Ovi goes online.

true !

what about an analysis of HAM database to determinize categories of programs ?

and then , why not using the brand new categories icons from HAM in 2009-44.1 instead of non-related icons, cause some of actuals one seems to be not from the same icon set, and GPS one is just ugly :-( ?

Exactly. The code's already written:

Not sure, but I think the HAM icons might be a bit too large; could be worth a play, though.

and in facts , why didn't you parse the .desktop files to get the category ?

cause i made from my own a menu launcher for ubuntu in Qt4 and i used this method to get categories : in each .desktop file you may have a 'Categories=' line which contains a string of this kind 'Sound&Video;Multmedia;Audio" then you just save the first part of string split(string, ";",0) ...

@TheBootroo
Did you ever look in one of the .desktop-Files in /usr/share/applications/hildon ? There is no "Categories" ( - ok; i found "13" against 65 installed programms !! ).
AND the Categories are quit not usable (look some posts back...)
Example: Categories=Application;Game;PuzzleGame;
which Folder did you take for this ? Did you create 3 Folder and put it in all them ? ....
Regards Tom

PS: you are right: "may have" - but the files dont have...

The categories are in a list from least precise to most, and TheBootroo suggested only taking the highest-level grouping. The lack of categorisation in most .desktop files would seem to make this rather a moot point though.
