  • Ok, finally I’ve found solution! Obviously I found it 0.0001 seconds after I publicly asked this question.

    Problem is that “Games” menu in mentioned /home/user/.config/menus/applications-kmenuedit.menu XML file does not contain a <Merge type="files"/> tag, that’s why KDE Kickoff Application Menu was ignoring .desktop files if they belong to this category. And every sample .desktop file I’ve created probably belonged to Games category.

    I changed this XML file to be like this:

    <Menu>
      <Name>Games</Name>
      <Include/>
      <Exclude>
       <Filename>Quake.desktop</Filename>
      </Exclude>
      <Layout>
       <Merge type="menus"/>
       <Merge type="files"/>
    

    Now it seems like everything works as expected. I don’t understand why it doesn’t work by default.




  • Why do you think Gephi is using Graphviz? I think it does not. In graphviz there is no Giant Component filter and no centrality statistics, which are part of graph theory. Gephi is closer to graph theory than graphviz is. Graphviz does have some good node placement algorithms, but in general these apps have different scope. Graphviz is a no go for this purpose.

    Gephi, NetworkX or iGraph - pick single one of these and it will be a single tool you need to repeat steps in the post and achieve similar result. But latter two are programming libraries. Managing to get and launch Gephi probably worth the hassle.
