for probably all users, the menus are the main tool to accede to their applications on the pc.
but some applications are often absent!
for example:
- xcalc
- xditview
- xedit
- xli (if extra installed instead of feh)
although they are full graphic applications!
or
- clex
- mc
- nano
- ranger
etc (being commando line app's very popular by those using minimal installations)!
or
- nemo (in my opinion the actual best file explorer and manager, than you to the developers from Mint linux, a derived distro from the Debian world ).
Most of the menu making applications seem to use the .content of /usr/share/applications to build and update the menu. Some of those menu making applications have no preference about the environment, for ex. «xfce4-appfinder» and low exigences about their dependencies so they are often to meet in other environments and a great help to get fast a beautiful menu! It can be considered as a kind of standard!
A bit more complex is the situation for those using very tiny linux versions portable on usb sticks etc (used for ex. a short time at the office etc.) because they often continue to use «slim» as login and session manager and «jwm» as display manager, where the old standard Debian package «menu» (with or not «9menu» if «ratpoison» also is installed) is common. Debian maintainer did implement in one of both xlm files of /etc/jwm/ an automatic build of a named "Debian-menu", based on that old standard package «menu»). That Debian menu shows a lot of internal details you would never meet else (and very interesting in the popular Pc working education! It is important to educate peoples correctly to modern working methods![:idea:]( "Idea")
. Old versions from the other derived distros «emmabuntus» for example, have as goal the introduction of PC work in schools in Africa or people looking for work because of absence of qualification. That distro did take special care for good menus,,,)! But it major caracteristic is: A lot of items are absent ![:mrgreen:]( "Mr. Green")
.
And the situation did become very more difficult since «grun» did often disappear from the scope of package offered in apt!
Where can we learn how to do the same (as Emmabuntus: complete the absent item in all menus)?
