State of "Hide from menus" is not saved upon application restart

[Matthew Allen]

Steps to reproduce:
 1) Open MenuLibre
 2) Find a directory and set "Hide from menus" to true
 3) Save and Exit MenuLibre and ensure that the launcher is hidden from the menu
 4) Start MenuLibre and navigate to the directory

Expected Outcome
 The state of "Hide from menus" is On as we left it before.
Actual Outcome
 "Hide from menus" is Off and has to be toggled to On and then Off to reshow the menu.

I can't really say this is a bug fix, as I'm not sure that this fixes the bug. But the repair for the symptom, the disheartening menu directories, can be fixed like this:

In terminal:

cd ~/.local/share/desktop-directories
open the directories in your text editor, edit them to only have:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Directory
Name=Action
Icon=weather-storm

obviously adjust the information for the menu you're working with. save and exit and you should find your missing directories back. the menu may act a little funny the first couple times opening after adjusting the file. sometimes only showing the directory you edited. but after a restart, the problem should be completely resolved
