[Bug 1905061] Re: too many apps in media playback category

[Erich Eickmeyer]

** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ 
+  * An issue has been discovered in the default menu for Ubuntu Studio
+ where many (if not most) items were showing up in the Multimedia
+ Playback menu, making menu clutter that was unintentional and causing
+ application discovery issues.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+  * Install Ubuntu Studio (or any flavor and use the Ubuntu Studio
+ Installer to install ubuntustudio-menu and ubuntustudio-audio), -OR-
+ simply check the live session for Ubuntu Studio's ISO.
+ 
+  * Click Ubuntu Studio logo (Plasma Kickoff menu) and go to Multimedia
+ Playback.
+ 
+  * Menu will be extremely cluttered and have too many entries.
+ 
+ [Where problems could occur]
+ 
+  * This has been thoroughly tested, but it might not work for people who
+ have customized the items in their menu.
+ 
+ 
+ Original Description:
+ 
  UbuntuStudio 20.10
  Application menu displays almost all applications in the "Media Playback"-category.
  It seems the problem is in /etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged/studio.menu
  I changed the related section in the file from
  
-     <Menu>
-         <Name>Media Playback</Name>
-         <Directory>ubuntustudio-mediaplayback.directory</Directory>
-         <Include>
-          <And>
-             <Category>AudioVideo</Category>
-             <Category>Player</Category>
-             <Filename>org.kde.elisa.desktop</Filename>
-          </And>
-          <Not>
-             <Filename>jack_mixer.desktop</Filename>
-          </Not>
-         </Include>
-     </Menu>
+     <Menu>
+         <Name>Media Playback</Name>
+         <Directory>ubuntustudio-mediaplayback.directory</Directory>
+         <Include>
+          <And>
+             <Category>AudioVideo</Category>
+             <Category>Player</Category>
+             <Filename>org.kde.elisa.desktop</Filename>
+          </And>
+          <Not>
+             <Filename>jack_mixer.desktop</Filename>
+          </Not>
+         </Include>
+     </Menu>
  
  to
  
-     <Menu>
-         <Name>Media Playback</Name>
-         <Directory>ubuntustudio-mediaplayback.directory</Directory>
-         <Include>
-          <And>
-             <Category>AudioVideo</Category>
-             <Category>Player</Category>
-           <Not>
-             <Filename>jack_mixer.desktop</Filename>
-           </Not>
-          </And>
-          <Filename>org.kde.elisa.desktop</Filename>
-         </Include>
-     </Menu>
+     <Menu>
+         <Name>Media Playback</Name>
+         <Directory>ubuntustudio-mediaplayback.directory</Directory>
+         <Include>
+          <And>
+             <Category>AudioVideo</Category>
+             <Category>Player</Category>
+           <Not>
+             <Filename>jack_mixer.desktop</Filename>
+           </Not>
+          </And>
+          <Filename>org.kde.elisa.desktop</Filename>
+         </Include>
+     </Menu>
  
  Now it looks like it should be, pretty clean, I think that's what was
  intended.
