Hi,

….after installing 'libre office' on my computer, the lauchers of the various applications that are part of libre office, were visible on the desktop individually (in a separate and independent way).

I wanted to group all these launchers, on my desktop, inside a “submenu” (and this accomplishment can also be a general requirement for displaying programs grupper by “categories” on the desktop ).

I used the program “xdg-desktop-menu” to accomplice this purpose; so I run this command line from the terminal


xdg-desktop-menu install /usr/share/desktop-directories/-kde-office.directory libreoffice-calc.desktop libreoffice-calc.desktop ibreoffice-math.desktop libreoffice-draw.desktop libreoffice-base.desktop libreoffice-impress.desktop

More clearly:

xdg-desktop-menu install (option install of the command)

kde-office.directory (the <.directory file> that describe the icon and the

libreoffice-calc.desktop way to present the group of programs.

libreoffice-math.desktop the list all the launchers <there .desktop files>

libreoffice-draw.desktop to be groupped)

libreoffice-base.desktop

libreoffice-impress.desktop

the command created this file :

/etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged/kde-office.menu

[angelo_dev@localhost ~]$ cat /etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged/kde-office.menu

<!DOCTYPE Menu PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD Menu 1.0//EN" "http://www.freedesktop.org/">

<!-- Do not edit manually - generated and managed by xdg-desktop-menu -->

<Menu>

<Name>Applications</Name>

<Menu>

<Name>kde-office</Name>

<Directory>kde-office.

<Include>

<Filename>libreoffice-calc.

<Filename>libreoffice-calc.

<Filename>libreoffice-math.

<Filename>libreoffice-draw.

<Filename>libreoffice-base.

<Filename>libreoffice-impress.

</Include>

</Menu>

</Menu>

I hoped this was enough for my purpose, but as well this, the submenu <office> still not appears on the desktop

Why this ??

how it works xdg-desktop-menu for creating submenus ???


Regards

thank  you
