ABOUT
=====

xdgmenumaker is a command line tool, written in python, that generates
application menus using xdg information, by scanning *.desktop files
in /usr/share/applications and ~/.local/share/applications. All
applications are sorted according to the main categories as specified by
freedesktop.org at:
http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apa.html

The menu entries that are generated by xdgmenumaker are localised
according to the running user locale settings.

xdgmenumaker currently supports generating menus for fluxbox and
windowmaker. In-menu icons are not supported for now, maybe in the
future.

pyxdg is required by xdgmenumaker, in addition to python 2.

To generate an application menu for fluxbox, run xdgmenumaker like this:

$ xdgmenumaker -f fluxbox > ~/.fluxbox/xdg_menu

and then change your main fluxbox menu to include this file as a
submenu. For example, add this somewhere in your ~/.fluxbox/menu file:

[include] (~/.fluxbox/xdg_menu)
