[Linux] desktop file is lacking a Categories= entry

[probonopd]

aThe desktop file is lacking a Categories= entry in the *.desktop file.

According to the menu spec,

By including one of the Main Categories in an application's desktop entry file, the application will be ensured that it will show up in a section of the application menu dedicated to this category. If multiple Main Categories are included in a single desktop entry file, the entry may appear more than once in the menu.

Hence, please add at least one of the following in the Categories= key.

Main Category	Description	Notes
AudioVideo	Application for presenting, creating, or processing multimedia (audio/video)
Audio	An audio application	Desktop entry must include AudioVideo as well
Video	A video application	Desktop entry must include AudioVideo as well
Development	An application for development
Education	Educational software
Game	A game
Graphics	Application for viewing, creating, or processing graphics
Network	Network application such as a web browser
Office	An office type application
Science	Scientific software
Settings	Settings applications	Entries may appear in a separate menu or as part of a "Control Center"
System	System application, "System Tools" such as say a log viewer or network monitor
Utility	Small utility application, "Accessories"

In addition, you could specify one or more from the longer list of Additional Categories.

Please test the result with desktop-file-validate and make sure it passes.

electron-builder offers native support for this since v19.22.1.

Is this issue opened by a bot? Because it feels like it, no offense but is kinda strange opening the issue on a seemingly random repo. Anyway thanks for the response with all the info :)

[probonopd]

No, I am not a bot. Just trying to build a central directory of AppImages,

[nikolio]

Aha. Thanks for the info. The next push will contain a commit with a category in the package json.
I might digress, but have you used recently electron builder with the win nsis, cause I cant seem to build the exe in Travis CI. Sth with nsis wanting to build with the new gcc abi that the trusty packages in Travis don't have.
Anyway
Thanks and good day
Nikos

Hi Nikos, thank you very much. Unfortunately I don't know whether it is possible to build using electron-builder for Windows on Travis CI.

[probonopd]

Can you ping me once a new release is up for download? Thanks.

[nikolio]

Will do
Thanks

7aa24a8 adds a category option. I verified the desktop entry file with the desktop-file-validate
Release https://github.com/nikolio/GradeStats/releases/tag/0.0.2

Good luck with building the central directory :)

Thank you very much. Maybe you want to disable the developer tools by default? https://appimage.github.io/GradeStats/

[nikolio]

Well since the application is in heavy development I need them. I saw that is not pretty with the developer tools open. If I upload new release the appimage hub entry will be updated automatically ?

[probonopd]

If you send a pull request on https://github.com/AppImage/appimage.github.io/blob/master/data/GradeStats (e.g., remove the #) then it will re-run the job and make another screenshot.

Thanks I will make sure to send a pull request when I 'm gonna have a release with the dev tools closed
