no launcher in applications-menu for freemind

[Niels Egberts]

Binary package hint: freemind

When installing Freemind 0.7.1-6ubuntu3 on Intrepid Alpha 1 it doesn't create an application launcher in the menu.

I think it should be under Applications->Accessories->Freemind

I can confirm this bug for xubuntu 8.04.1

When using the Debian package, it is under Applications -> Office -> Freemind

[Patrick Brennan (pbrennan)]

The package is missing a ".desktop" file hence the lack of menu launcher. I have checked the Debian Etch package and it is also missing from this. I have included the contents/filename of the required file below:

/usr/share/applications/freemind.desktop:

---
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Freemind
Comment=Visual mind mapping tool
Exec=/usr/bin/freemind
Categories=Education;
Terminal=false
Icon=FreeMindWindowIcon
---

I have set the category to "Education"; however, "Office" may also be appropriate (which would place the launcher under Applications -> Office). I'm sorry that I have not included a complete patch; however, I am not familiar enough with Ubuntu's packaging methodologies/policies to do this.

I can confirm this bug for ubuntu 8.10

Patrick Brennan's fix solved the problem, but I preferred

Categories=Office;

Attaching a Jaunty debdiff which provides a freemind.desktop, using Categories=Office.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package freemind - 0.7.1-6ubuntu4

---------------
freemind (0.7.1-6ubuntu4) jaunty; urgency=low

  * debian/freemind.desktop
    - Add a .desktop file.
  * debian/freemind.install
    - Install the .desktop file at appropriate location.

I'm seeing the launcher now in Ubuntu 12.04. Thanks for fixing this!
