Re: gEDA-user: SuSE rpms (was: gEDA/gaf stable version 1.4.0-20080127 released!)

Hi Peter and all,

sorry for the late response. I've finally tracked down all the menu, 
desktop and mimetype stuff.

I put the description to the wiki:

The Desktop menu items have been changed to:

  Application-->Edutainment-->Electronics

You have to install the electronics-menu rpm package to use it.

I've missed it the last time. It's fixed in the current libgeda and pcb 
package.

No the makro creates or modifies the desktop files. In our case this 
moved all electronics menu entries into the constructions categorie.
I've removed this makro.

mime type toubleshooting:
I've had some hard hours to find out that I had some local mimetype 
definitions in my home directory for gschem. Thus the mime types worked 
great in GNOME but not in the KDE environment. If you don't have the 
mimetypes in KDE, please run nautilus (the file manager of gnome).

Regards
Werner
