In Debian we have a nearly identical .desktop file, however it has For the copyright:
Then we have in debian/copyright

"Wine" is a non-standard (non-valid) category. I don't think it should be added. Wine.desktop doesn't have any categories because it's not a menu launcher file. |
You're right, after running |
Ok, after looking into this again I now really propose a change: This way I see it in Gnome in "System Tools", instead of "Accessories". I think it matches much better in that category: "Accessories" is for things like Calculator, that you use for doing other things. "System Tools" is for changing parts of your System, which is what winetricks does. |
Where does utilities end up? I think winetricks is more of a utility than a system tool. It should run as an unprivileged user, and is used within user writeable locations, not /var or the like. I'm not strongly opinioned, as long as there's consensus on what is chosen. I'm not going to be using the GUI to run it ;) |
Not a strong opinion here either. I just want to get this implemented and be done with it. Here in Gnome if I change winetricks.desktop to ...

What is archive manager set to that gets it in utilities?

/usr/share/applications/org.gnome.FileRoller.desktop: So here in Gnome category "Utility" is for menu "Accessories", and X-GNOME-Utilities for menu "Utilities". I'm against using desktop specific settings here (I assume we all agree on that). |
In my opinion, the "Utility" category is a better choice (I like it more and it's also used by PlayOnLinux), but as you noted, according to the Desktop Menu Specification, the correct main category for the "Emulator" subcategory is "System", not "Utility", so the "System" category will probably be better after all. |
IMO wine is the emulator, and winetricks is a utility for it, not an
emulator itself.

By now, I get why you "like" Accessories more than System Tools. And I think the actual feeling of someone who uses this is important here. Personally I only had the formal view on this. Further I agree that winetricks and playonlinux should be in the same category. So yes, maybe leave it in this menu. I didn't see any effect of emulator anyway and also agree with Austin here. So maybe just drop "Emulator" and go with |
@jre-wine Done. |
@AsciiWolf, how would you feel about updating the comment to something like: In my experience, most users want to install native DLLs, not install games or applications. I want to make some TravisCI changes to test make install before committing this, fyi, but should be Tuesday or Wednesday. |
@austin987 Done. |
@AsciiWolf Great! We'll probably go ahead with this version in Debian. |
