In my Porteus module, I have an entry in the .desktop file

Categories=Accessories;

But after activating the module, a menu entry named Other is always created, and my application is entered in the Other folder, instead of Accessories.

Does anyone know why this happens? Apart from this small detail the module is working as expected.

Thanks

Philip.
