Usage

Overview

jgmenu_run apps generates jgmenu flavoured CSV menu data for system applications using built-in schema data or a specified schema file to map categories to directories, rather than system .directory files.

A schema is searched for in the following locations and order:

The root menu is appended and/or prepended by the contents of the files $HOME/.config/jgmenu/{append,prepend}.csv if they exist.

Applications which do not belong in any of the categories in the schema file, are placed in `Other' (which is the one with no Categories= field)

Example schema file:

Name=Accessories
Name[sv]=Tillbehör
Icon=applications-accessories
Categories=Accessibility;Core;Utility;
