Bug Description

Binary package hint: sqliteman

Application appears in:

Applications -> Office

This doesn't seem appropriate. It's description is, "Administer and develop your Sqlite3 databases". This isn't an office tool, it's a developer's tool. Locating this application in:

Applications -> Development would make more sense. That's where a tool like pgadmin3 would appear.

Note: I'll admit that I have filed several menu related bugs in the last couple of minutes, but I do think that little things like this make K/Ubuntu look less professional and arguably harder to use (I had a hard time finding sqliteman in the menu because I didn't think to look in office.)

Thank you for your contribution. I generally agree with your "complaint", but I don't think your suggestion conforms to http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apa.html For lack of time I can't propose a better entry right now, though.

It seems to work just fine on my local system. I took a .desktop file from pgadmin (or possibly tora) and used the categories in it to move sqliteman into the development folder. The categories in the file are in the spec. I'm not sure I really understand how it fails to conform to the spec.
