that's because the categories for games are meaningless. games are odd that way: it isn't enough to just know it's a "card game" (especially when they are all already under the "Card Game" submenu ;). the name of the game is actually really important for identification. this isn't true for things like word processors. ergo the change. which is to say, this is intentional and not a bug. yes, its ok for menu configured for Name - Description (if both is present) I've chooseт option "Only names" but have description instead of name. I have not only kde games (with good description), some games has in description like "Game" or "Arcade game" :) so, this feature is nog good for me :) Confirmed in kde 4.4.0 self compiled. If I set to show only names, it shows the description without name, if I set to show only description, then it shows the only the name... I also use "names only", and when someone says to try game "bovo", I am lost, because the name does not show in the menu. *** Bug 228594 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** @Aaron: I see why you made the change for the Kickoff menu. However, in the classic menu, this is broken, as the classic menu uses DisplayRole as description and SubtitleRole as name and then formats it according to its own formats, e.g. Name - Description, so you end up with seeing Description - Name instead. Please test this kind of changes with the classic menu as well next time! I have successfully tested the following fix: http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/rpms/kdebase-workspace/F-12/kdebase-workspace-4.4.0-classicmenu-games.patch?revision=1.1&view=markup Basically, this adds a ForceNameAfterDescription DisplayOrder and uses that in the classic menu. Comments? Objections? Approvals? Do you want me to commit this? *** Bug 234070 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Erm... I have been puzzled for a while now, and opened bug 234070 in the while. To sum this up, how do we proceed? The default menu is not the only one affected, there are at least two other menu replacement. If the underlying model lies, bad things are going to happen sooner or later. I understand you want to give meaningful titles, but perhaps it could be done by 1 - coordinating with kdegames developers -- this is likely to be needed anyway. The used field is named "GenericName", not description anyway. It should provide either a name like "chess" for a chess game, or a longer better version of the game name or be removed if there is no "generic" version of the program/game. 2 - do the special casing in the view instead so whats up with this patch? should it be merged? should something else be made about it? *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 241736 *** |
