Hi Archie,

from boss specfile, i don't know wich, but

Code: [Select]
# Menu for all Desktops(tex)
desktop-file-install --vendor="" \
  --remove-category="Application" \
  --add-category="X-MandrivaLinux-Multimedia-Video" \
  --dir $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_datadir}/applications $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_datadir}/applications/*

X-MandrivaLinux is the solution.

Good luck

  --dir $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_datadir}/applications $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_datadir}/applications/%{name}.desktop
=> this is a quote from Archie's first post.... seems the same already as you mentioned, so I don't think that the problem is there  ???

EDIT: OK, I now see the difference - thanks Leiche

Nope. It didn't help with the menu entry.

Thanks, Leiche. Gonna check it out.

EDIT: I noted of diff that the issue was caused by the SVG icon. I've recently run rpmorphan to free up some space. I am reinstalling the BuildRequire and test the package. All the same, thanks for your assistance.

UPDATE:
Still no menu entry for me. :(

I am beginning to think it is with my install. I will dig around the XDG menus and see what's going on ... maybe somehow, it got an <exclude> tag or something. If your test is good, please send your SRPM release upstream as an update. Thanks.
