[Gambas-bugtracker] Bug #3076: No menu entries when installed from Gambas Farm

[<bugtracker@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

http://gambaswiki.org/bugtracker/edit?object=BUG.3076&from=L21haW4-

Willy RAETS reported a new bug.

Summary
-------

No menu entries when installed from Gambas Farm

Type             : Bug
Priority         : Medium
Gambas version   : 3.19
Product          : Software farm


Description
-----------

Although Gambas Farm makes a .desktop file in Desktop.DataDir &/ "applications" this doesn't always make them appear in the menus on MATE desktops (even after a reboot).

Editing the .desktop file for an Gambas Farm installed application (Blokski+) by adding:
Type=Application
solved the issue

The problem seems that DesktopFile (gb.Desktop) doesn't support the Type property or else the code in CSoftware.class (Gambas IDE) would be easily fixed.
