In vmpk.desktop file there should be only one category:

Categories=AudioVideo

So I got it to work properly.

BR,

Markus

@Markus : Thank you for the report and diagnostic.
> In vmpk.desktop file there should be only one category:
Some applications put themselves in more than one sub-menu. This is OK.
Was VMPK absent from the 'entertainment/Sound_Video' menu altogether, or did it appear there and also under 'education' - which would be legitimate ?

I tried this on Mageia 7 Mate, and VMPK appeared in both 'Sound & Video' (what must be your 'entertainment') and 'Education' sub-menus, which is fine.

Hi,
it was only in "education" ==> "others" ("Bildung" ==> "Sonstiges") and not in entertainment / VideoAudio.

Comment 4 Markus Robert Keßler 2019-08-27 10:10:04 CEST

Additional note:
The above said is regarding xfce4.

In Plasma there is VMPK in
- "entertainment" ==> "others" (German: "Unterhaltung" ==> "Weitere"), and
- "education" ("Bildung")

So, there is obviously something in the desktop file that is confusing xfce4

Regarding comment 2:

No, it's not only MGA6. At least, when working with xfce this also occurs in MGA7. There is something in the desktop file which xfce cannot handle properly
