Released a new version (2.0.1). This version fixes a lot of the previous problems and now uses ecore whenever available.
For those having segfaults with version 0.1.7 please update to 0.1.8 as they should be fixed now. Thanks hoarycripple, for the testing help !!
A new version is in the works !! e17genmenu will soon create debian menus also ! Thanks fulldisclosure !!
Just release 0.1.6 which fixes problems with not finding gnome-run.png and also adds Icon Theme Support !!
e17genmenu version 0.1.0 is a rewrite of the original code.
Added Menu Alphabetizing.
e17genmenu is currently being rewritten. The current version on this site (0.0.4) should function fine for most users, but has a couple of issues. 1) The autogen.sh script may not work on your machine. If you experience this problem, try just using the configure script. 2) e17genmenu may segfault when parsing .desktop files that do not conform to FDO standards. (XCDRoast being a prime example, no NAME= entry). The problem is that e17genmenu does not yet handle different languages (rewrite). A solution to this would be to edit the .desktop and add a Name= entry.
