Groups
What is a group?
A group is actually a filter for categories, it describes what categories
should appear in what order at the application. There are already a few
filters for different audiances, e. g. "office", "travel" or "physics". You
can reach those by selecting the group combo box at the main graphical user
interface. If you would like to add, hide, remove or reorder categories, you
can edit the following textfiles:
Installationsverzeichnis/data/groups/*.group
Description of a .group-file
A .group-file is just a flat text file stored in UTF-8. Each line in the
file has to contain a category ID. Valid IDs have been specified in the categories.list.
A .group-file also requires an icon in the png-format (24x24 pixel are
preferred) stored in the following directory:
Installationsverzeichnis/data/icons/groups/
"all" and "random" are reserved words and those should not be used for
naming a .group file.
Edit a filter
There is a filter called "favorites.group" which can be used to redefine
your preferred favorites:
Installationsverzeichnis/data/groups/favorites.group
At the end of the file you find all valid category IDs. Valid IDs have
been specified in the categories.list.
Translation of the title of a group
You can translate the title of a group by adding a new entry to a language resource bundle. The entry has to
follow the following syntax:
Group.<filename of the group
file>=<translation>
Example:
Group.math=Mathematik
