Description

xdgmenumaker is a command line tool, written in python, that generates application menus using xdg information, by scanning `*.desktop` files in all `$XDG_DATA_DIRS/applications` directories. All applications are sorted according to the main categories as specified by [freedesktop.org](http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apa.html).

The menu entries that are generated by xdgmenumaker are localised according to the running user locale settings.

xdgmenumaker currently supports generating menus for: * amiwm * blackbox * compizboxmenu * fluxbox * fvwm * icewm * jwm * openbox * pekwm * twm and derivatives such as ctwm and vtwm * windowmaker
