I just don't understand the Haiku devs' insistence that everything must be thrown into one big Applications menu. In the apps on my repo I make use of the Dektop applets and Demos menus whenever I can, but Applications still scrolls off the screen.
You can actually create subdirectories off Applications when you create the HPKG. I sort of accidentally did that when I packaged ekit - of course that was when OpenJDK was still working. Also a recent update to QT4 put a submenu in my Applications menu. Now I'm not advocating a free-for-all, but Haikudepot does have existing categories
Games
Business
Audio, etc
BBJimmy, Lelldorin, what do you think? Between the three of us we control a lot of apps. If we started using Haikudepot's own categories in the menu, we could bring some sanity to Applications. It means going back to our apps and updating from say 1.0-1 to 1.0-2 and so on. Perhaps start with Games?
