SG Desktop categories

In SG Desktop there are these default categories. Is there any way to customize these and/or control which category a custom App appears within?

Yes! Take a look at this chunk of the tk-desktop configuration settings in the Default Config:

github.com

shotgunsoftware/tk-config-default2/blob/master/env/includes/settings/tk-desktop.yml#L42-L61


groups:
- matches:
  - "*Fla*"
  - "*Houdini*"
  - "*Mari*"
  - "*Max*"
  - "*Maya*"
  - "*Motion*"
  - "*Nuke*"
  - "*Photoshop*"
  - "*After*"
  - "*Effects*"
  name: Creative Tools
- matches:
  - "*Hiero*"
  name: Editorial Tools
- matches:
  - "*Alias*"
  - "*VRED*"
  name: Automotive Tools

That’s where this is configured.

Thanks @tannaz!

For those who are using tk-config-basic these settings can be found in env/includes/desktop/project.yml.

Hi to evryone,

I use this thread for a kick précision.
Is there any possiblities to filter with a no_matches key or conditions ?
