Bug Description

Binary package hint: software-center

*sorry, 'department'*

Isomaster, the iso manipulation tool, would fit best in the 'accessories' department, specially because it has a swiss-knife (tool) icon.
It could even go to 'other' (which I reckon must be a department for apps in a provisional categorisation).

While if there was a 'multimedia' department it could eventually fit there, 'sound & video' really isn't (as I see) the proper department for it.

Regards.

If we look at the [URL=http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apa.html]freedesktop standards for menu categorization[/URL], it would fit in 'Development'.
Maybe Software Center's category 'Progamming' should be renamed 'Development' which is a broader term and wouldn't impair the easy finding of an app (it's obvious that the programming tools must be under the development category).

I think the category is probably the best-fit from what's available. On Debian isomaster ends up in the Multimedia menu, along with various tools for writing CDs and ripping DVDs. May not be the best place for it, but it's in good company!
