Changes to a new group only applies on catorise level, it does not change individual application packages.

			Catorise Plus is currently recommendend over using Catorise and Catorise GUI as not only does it combine both applications together, it merges any potential conflicts with running either seperately into one (thus eradicating conflicts altogether) as well as allowing the end user to place literally any installed applications (only the ones that have icons within application menu) into whichever group of their choice unlike its predecessors (Catorise and Catorise GUI).
