Tiny Core 3.0 Alpha 1 Testing

Jason W:
If upstream .desktop files were not overwritten, then the tc menu entries and exec commands that users created would have been lost, as well as no multiple menu entries.  I chose to uphold the custom tc specific menu entry names and exec commands at the expense of upstream .desktop entries.  As well as overwriting the Icon field with the universally compatible Icon=iconI rather than not overwriting upstream.

If I had left existing .desktop files alone, then there would be complaints that I did not respect the user's custom menu entries and exec commands.  Had to make a choice.

Jason,

you can't destroy original .desktop files. Removing original category makes it useless for the desktop menu system. Removal of localized comments, names, etc. will cause problems using a localised TC.

If it was working fine in 2.11 why to demage it in 3.x? If it is needed not just to add a TC specific field but change the basic fields itself it means something wrong in 3.x !

If you intend to keep 3.x repo as it is now, you are killing LXDE and Xfce4.

Hi Team TinyCore!

Very good work! I was suspecting that something like this was going to happen and fortunately it did. I have TinyCore 3.0 Alfa 1 in a frugal install and haven't had a problem so far. I'm converted to flwm so the issues mentioned above haven't caused problems to me. Again, very good work!!!

Have fun improving TinyCore,
meo
