Recategorise and rename .desktop files to new dir

[stu90]

Hello,
I made this script to search for .desktop file categories - then based on the found categories to recategorise and rename the .desktop files to a new directory.

While it does work im wondering if there is some better, quicker more logical way to accomplish this task?

thanks.
