<pre>Description:
The following strings are used in the .desktop files for LibreOffice that you
might see in something like Xfce whisker application menu.
I suggest removing the last part of the strings because Name in the .desktop
file might be "LibreOffice Writer" so the comment don't need to also have "by
using Writer."
Remove:
by using Writer.
by using Impress.
by using Draw.
by using Calc.
by using Math.
by using Base.
Also it might be better to write something else for the Comment string for
libreoffice-startcenter.desktop which is:
The office productivity suite compatible to the open and standardized ODF
document format. Supported by The Document Foundation.
Seems like it is a laucher to start the 6 applications so maybe write something
like this instead:
Create files in Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math, and Base
Or:
Start center for creating files in Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math, and Base
Or:
Start center for Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math, and Base
Or whatever would be better.
I suggest not using "." at the end of the Comment-strings.
Steps to Reproduce:
Look at the Name and Comment strings in /usr/share/applications/libreoffice-*
or open something like whisker menu in Xfce. Might need to change a setting to
see the Comment strings.
Actual Results:
>From these strings:
Create and edit text and images in letters, reports, documents and Web pages by
using Writer.
Create and edit presentations for slideshows, meeting and Web pages by using
Impress.
Create and edit drawings, flow charts, and logos by using Draw.
Perform calculations, analyze information and manage lists in spreadsheets by
using Calc.
Create and edit scientific formulas and equations by using Math.
Manage databases, create queries and reports to track and manage your
information by using Base.
Expected Results:
So they would end up being something like:
Create and edit text and images in letters, reports, documents and Web pages
Create and edit presentations for slideshows, meeting and Web pages
Create and edit drawings, flow charts, and logos
Perform calculations, analyze information and manage lists in spreadsheets
Create and edit scientific formulas and equations
Manage databases, create queries and reports to track and manage your
information
Start center for Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math, and Base
