Some, not all apps need a reboot to show in the menu??
Namely 8blitter... Got it with pndmanager. Didn't show anywhere until I rebooted.. Now it shows in my emulators link..
 
When you add a new PND, a program called pndnotifyd notices it and creates an entry for it in /usr/share/applications/. There needs to be this entry in order for it to show up in the menu.

Sometimes, pndnotifyd doesn't notice the change.

Rebooting fixes it because it restarts pndnotifyd. You can do this yourself without rebooting by doing:


sudo /etc/init.d/pndnotifyd-init stop
sudo /etc/init.d/pndnotifyd-init start
Alternatively, switch to MiniMenu, as that works with PND files directly, so doesn't rely on pndnotifyd.
 
There's also a menu option to rescan the cards too
