Re: Gnome desktop files doesn't follow the freedesktop standards



Who decides on that set? Aren't we aiming for Epiphany and Rhythmbox to
be "part of the OS"?  What substantially distinguishes Epiphany from
"Image Viewer"?

Nothing. It should be "music player"

What if gucharmap had originally had a "branded" name itself, like
"CharacterWorld" or something? Just because the author originally chose
a branded name, that means users should see it in the menu?

Yeah, that would be ridiculous. The missing line from the hig should say: "if you are writing a core gnome app, you should use a generic name even if that means renaming" (but at the time I was too timid to have the audacity to stipulate people had to rename their precious work)
