Gambas Farm


When you open the Farm from IDE and go to Category 'All' and sort on 'Most recent' you will see at 'Blokski+' and 'Screenshot' at 5 and 6.

If you install 'Blokski+' it will create a .desktop file in .local/share/applications
If you install 'Screenshot' it will NOT create a .desktop file in .local/share/applications

This .desktop file ensures there is a menu entry in the system menu of your distro, so the fact that 'Screenshot' has no .desktop file means there is no menu entry and you will have to go look for your executable, not really practical.

Now, in Gambas Farm, with sort to 'Most Recent' click on each category. In the end you will find 'Blokski+' in category 'Games', but you will not find 'Screenshot' in any category but 'All'.

'Blokski+' installs in menu Games, the category it is in.
'Screenshot' is in no category.

My question:
Does an application require to be in a category to be installed in a menu?
Is this an intentional behavior or something that has been overseen and is not implemented?

To me it seems that the tag 'Utilities' used in 'Screenshot' should indicate using menu 'Accessories'

In short, what is happening here?
