<p><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="background-color: transparent;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="background-color: transparent;">I am looking for someone who can answer some simple questions in regards to the menu spec <a href="http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/">http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/</a> . If you know any better place to ask these questions please drop me a short pointer.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
<span style="font-size: 9pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="background-color: transparent;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="background-color: transparent;">
<p><br />1. Question<br />Attached are some files, among that an applications.menu file. Is that file according to the above spec?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>2. Question<br />I would expect to have a menu like this:</p>
<p><br />submenu1<br />element1<br />kfind<br />systemsettings</p>
<p> </p>
<p>and submenu1 contains only element2</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Is there any reason why a compliant system would show a different menu? KDE doesn't show submenu1 at all but only element1, kfind and systemsettings... Bug in KDE or bug in my applications.menu file?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>3. Question<br />Is there any fundamental difference in the file structure for an applications.menu file and a file which I merge in applications.menu via <MergeFile>? Or asked the other way round, could I use the .menu file which I try to merge into the applications.menu file directly as applications.menu file? (would it be valid as such a file? Of course the purpose of merging is different).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>4. Question<br />Are the elements <DefaultAppDirs/> and <DefaultDirectoryDirs/> optional? I would assume that a compliant implementation looks up the default directories in any case. Doesn't it?</p>
<p><br />Background of my questions is that I have lots of trouble creating and changing menus in KDE with the existing tools. Before I can contribute to make this situation better I need a confirmed starting point, e.g. starting with a non-valid applications.menu file wouldn't be good....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks for your help!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Regards,<br />K.</p>
