The Education category does not show in application finder. It shows in applications menu and whisker menu. So i suggest they all show the same. Either all show the menu or none of them show it. Version 4.13.2.
Created attachment 8582 screenshot It is shown here.
I have 4.13.3 now. What version do you have? Seems app finder dont show the education category if the program is also in the Office category: So if i remove "Office;" from the following line in the .desktop file i can see Education category in app finder. Categories=Office;Spreadsheet;Education;Science;Math; I also tested if it was because there was only 1 program in Education but having 3 programs in education did not show the category.
Same version. I added "Office" to the Categories line, and now the entry shows up in both categories. Categories=Office;Education;Math; Can you reproduce the problem with a new user account?
Works with new user it seems but this is so weird... If i edit/save the .desktop file while appfinder is open i can see the changes live. Which is super cool. But the strange thing is that the category only shows in appfinder if the name starts with a certain characters. Like the category is visible with: Name=a Name=b Name=c .. Name=k But not with: Name=l Name=m Name=n ... Name=z Visible with: Name=bb But not with: Name=aa
Try: Start: xfce4-appfinder Notice if Education category is there. sudo mousepad /usr/share/desktop-directories/xfce-education.directory Insert a character between l-z before "Education". So: Name=Education Becomes: Name=zEducation Look at appfinder and save. See if the category will show. I think you see because "Education" in Name=Education just happens to start with a "e" which is between a-k. But for languages like swedish that uses Name[sv]=Utbildning with a "U" the category will not show.
I changed "Name=Education" to "Name=zEducation" and the entry moved down to the bottom of the category list.
How can i see error messages etc. from xfce4-appfinder?
Ok i just installed xubuntu-19.04-desktop-amd64.iso from fresh in VirtualBox and i have not changed a thing and Education category is not in appfinder 4.13.2 when using danish. I run: sudo mousepad /usr/share/desktop-directories/xfce-education.directory And add [a-k] af first character in Name. From: Name=Education To: Name=aEducation Save file and the category shows. Remove the a and save file and the category is gone again.
