Does not show up in menu. Needs .desktop entry?

[Jacob Anawalt]

Binary package hint: mypasswordsafe

When I installed MyPasswordSafe I was unable to find it in the Applications menu. I expected to find it in Applications > Accessories with other Security Utilities like KeePassX, PasswordGorilla, or Revelation Password Manager. I suspect this is because the package has a /usr/share/menu entry instead of a /usr/share/applications/*.desktop entry.

Didn't some program convert these? It seems like providing the .desktop entry is the best, or if not to depend on or at least suggest the package that converts /usr/share/menu entries to .desktop entries.

I see the package is getting stale upstream. It's greatest feature is providing a native gui that is compatible with Password Safe. Perhaps there is a more up-to-date replacement.
