Fwd: edubuntu-menu-editor

[Marc Gariépy]

Hello Kees,

I have just found and opened a new bug in edubuntu-menueditor
* https://bugs.launchpad.net/menueditor/+bug/634638

First you will need to import your menu file without a space in the name.
and you will need to rename the "sound & video" menu name to "Multimedia",
as commented in the lp:#619226 the character "&" cause a problem within the
xml
file.

With those 2 fixes everything should work.

Thanks for feedback, this is appreciated.

Marc

Tried manually editing the tar.gz file, changing "System Menu" to
"System", but still did not work, here are the requested files.

Thanks for your help,
