Applist, create a list of apps in the Puppy Menu

[wizard]

Applist will create a list of applications from the Puppy Menu. It pulls the information from /usr/share/applications and /usr/local/bin (for the default apps). It creates a /root/applist.csv file with columns for Name, Comment (description), and Category (not very useful). Open this file in Gnumeric or another spreadsheet program where it can be edited, sorted and organized.

Due to inconsistent and incomplete source data the file will still need a lot of editing for some uses, but It does save you a lot of time doing the tedious job of listing the 150+ applications.

EDIT: you may need to reset the file permissions to executable

Some errors, but it produced a pretty complete looking list of applications from /usr/shared/applications for Debian Dog Buster, but didn't get the .desktop files in /root/.local/share/applications which DD uses for some stuff.

Just deleting .gz from the name was not all that is needed to get it to work.

I had to also give the file execute permission before it would run.

Thanks Big, seems to have lost its permissions on the trip. I added a note to the first post.
