Bad generic name in .desktop

[Paulus]

Binary package hint: smplayer

The program's description reads: "A great MPlayer front-end" in /usr/share/applications/smplayer.desktop. It shows up in, for example, KDE's Kicker, and I'm sure in other places.

Though smplayer is indeed great, this evaluation doesn't belong to its description.

The fact that it is implemented as an front-end to mplayer in immaterial to the description of the package's functionality.

A better description might be 'Media player'. I think improving the generic description is important, as smplayer is indeed one of the most user-friendly media players available.

Incidently, 'kmplayer' has 'Media Player' as its Generic Name; Dragon Player has 'Video Player', but media player is preferrable.

loevborg@lkubu:~# cat /usr/share/applications/smplayer.desktop /usr/share/applications/kde4/dragonplayer.desktop /usr/share/applications/kde4/kmplayer.desktop | grep Name=
GenericName=A great MPlayer front-end
Name=SMPlayer
Name=Dragon Player
GenericName=Video Player
Name=KMPlayer
GenericName=Media Player
