Menu Names Incorrect

[rebeltaz]

After updating from Ubuntu 18.04 to 22.04 ,alacarte was no longer working. Someone suggested menulibre to me. I installed it (version 2.2.2-1) and it works great... except that when I edit or move launchers that are in pre-existing menu folders, the menulibre created items have incorrect Names. This is hard to explain. Take this for example:

user-Utility.menu

<!DOCTYPE Menu PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD Menu 1.0//EN"
    "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/menu-spec/menu-1.0.dtd">
<!-- Do not edit manually - generated and managed by xdg-desktop-menu -->
<Menu>
    <Name>Applications</Name>
<Menu>
    <Name>Utilities</Name>
    <Directory>Utility.directory</Directory>
    <Include>
        <Filename>nemo.desktop</Filename>
        <Filename>org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop</Filename>
    </Include>
</Menu>
</Menu>

What this does is created two Accessories menu folders in the Applications menu - one created by the system and the other populated with the contents of this file.

Where it says "Utilities", it should instead say "Accessories". When you make that change, everything is merged into one Accessories menu. The same goes for "System-Tools" - it should say "System"; "X-GNOME-Other" - it should say "Other"; "Networking" should say "Internet"; and possibly others.

It took me FOREVER to figure out what was wrong and even longer to figure out the correct names.

I'm not sure if this happens to others or if it's been addressed, but I thought I'd point it out just in case.

I'm also running gnome-flashback 3.44.0-1 if that is helpful.

Hopefully, this is clear. Like I said, it's hard to explain.

I just wanted to bump this as still being an issue, so.... 🤷‍♂️
