F-droid categories

[Yann]

hi all, in F-droid 1.11, below what I see in the Categories tab, I feel this menu could be improved:

1. Tor browser appears 6 times in first results !
2. Guardian Project category contains hundreds of unrelated apps, e.g. games …
3. Guardian Project apps are included in Internet and Security, therefore I feel this category is un-necessary
4. Half of the apps in Multimedia category are games, so I would find relevant to see a Games category.

Tor browser appears 6 times in first results !

This is because it is categorised in multi catigories and shows results again in the Gaurdian Project.

• Guardian Project category contains hundreds of unrelated apps, e.g. games …
• Guardian Project apps are included in Internet and Security, therefore I feel this category is un-necessary
• Half of the apps in Multimedia category are games, so I would find relevant to see a Games category.

Your screen seems to be wrong and misses some categories, apps in “Security” shifted to “Development”, apps in “Sports & Health” shifted to Gaurdian Project, “Connectivity” shifted to "Internet ", “Games” shifted to “Multimedia”, “Theming” shifted to “Navigation”… That’s why you think they are all wrong . I think you should clear cache or clear the storage of the F-Droid app, nothing seems right.

Thx John, this was a bug then.
FYI:
I refreshed a first time, and nothing changed.
Then I disabled the extra repositories and refreshed, this solved the issue, all categories came back.
Then I added the Guardian rep again, and cross-finger the bug didn’t happen again
