   People are already bitching. We want our old icons back! We don't want a   
   description of the program taking up space, only the icon and name!   
      
   I've been trying to figure out something related to AppImages. Wednesday   
   when working with the guy at the library he added the Arduino 2.x IDE as   
   an AppImage and it showed up on the menu as 'Other'. On my laptop it added   
   'Programming' with an icon using AppImageLauncher.  I found another   
   AppImage, the discontinued but still working Mu Python editor. It added   
   'Education' with an icon.  I wonder how many more divisions will get   
   added?   
      
   KDE puts the v2 Arduino IDE, Mu, VS Code, and so forth in 'Development'. I   
   haven't put VS Code on the Mint box yet to see where it winds up.
