menu categories [open question for users]

[Jacob Creedon]

Video and Audio definitely should be in separate categories. Video has few
enough programs to be a single menu on it's own, but Audio is another story.
There are more audio programs than both graphics and video combined, so I've
divided my audio programs into the following categories:
-Recording/Editing (I can only think of one, maybe two, pieces of recording
software that doesn't also edit)
-Sequencing
-Synthesizers
-Effects and Signal Processing
-Other/Misc
And then I have a playback category, but it includes both audio and video
playback applications.

On the subject of application launchers... There are a few GUI programs that
have to be started from the command-line that are semi-ignored (timemachine
and meterbridge come to mind). It would be nice to have a launcher that
would open a terminal and print the usage for the command so that people can
work from there. Or maybe that would be too cluttery.
