I'd say it's not a bug in qcad, but in the pkg which parses the /etc/xdg/menus/${XDG_MENU_PREFIX}applications.menu file for the DE you're using or in the ${XDG_MENU_PREFIX}applications.menu itself.

I've no problems to see qcad in Xfce menus using xfce-applications.menu or plasma-applications.menu.

Well, I have just installed QCAD & done a lot of menu searching, using:
 Cinnamon, Gnome, LXDE, Mate, Plasma, Xfce
For Cinnamon/LXDE/Mate/Plasma, the application *is* shown in the Graphics menu - the 'more' one where there was one.
For Gnome, it is shown in the "all applications' display.
For all menus + Gnome with an application search box (incl Xfce), it popped up.
The only anomaly is with Xfce where it is in the *Education* menu - and the 'all applications' one.

What desktop are you using, Barry? Is it the only one?

Hi Lewis,
Only Plasma here.
After install the menu refreshes after a short delay as it always does when a GUI package install triggers a menu update, so it does try to do something.

It's not in any menu category, but it is found and runs fine from the application menu 'search' option.

I have been using it all day.
I will check in a different user.

In a new user it does appear in Graphics, and Sciences -> more.

OK I have resolved it.

There were a couple of old qcad.desktop files in ~/.local/share/applications/ neither of which had category entries.

One was from 2012. I suspect these were placed there by a 'paid for' version that I once used when the 'free' one was very buggy.

Sorry for taking up your time - closing as INVALID.
