Hi there,
Is there a utility where you can edit your kde menu, it is now full of apps I never use and the ones I do use aren't there. Or where does it build its menu structure from? I allso want to run custom commands in the popup menu from konqueror, any way to edit that one?
please help, Ozy |

Try 'kmenuedit' to edit menus. It should be part of KDE base install.
I think KDE stores it's menus under /usr/kde/kde_version/share, but i've never had any reason to edit them directly.
For konqueror's menus, see:
/usr/kde/3.1/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/
(change the version to suit yours, my machine has 3.1alpha)
I think these can be configured from konqueror somewhere, but since i don't use it anymore, i wouldn't know.
Hopefully these will get you started! Good luck! |

Allright!
tnx cphax!
I tried kmenuedit before, but then it told me I needed root rights etc, and back then I didn't feel like hacking my complete system. But now I seem to be able to edit my entire menu! It works, thumps up for KDE.

It's still lacking much functionality IMHO.
You'd think something as trivial as a menu editing tool would be fully functional |

i think right clicking the K and selecting Menu Editor actually pops kmenuedit up.
i like editing menus from the command line.
/usr/kde/3/share/applnk is where the menu items and directory structure is. this affects all users. (for kde 3.0.2 and 3.0.3, anyway)
also, in /home/username/.kde/share/applnk are the menu items if you want to edit them on a per-user basis.
i seem to remember emerging a gnome app or two.. i think some desktop entries got added to some other gnome-specific (?) directory someplace on my system and kde found them and put them in my menu. i forgot where they were, but if you have a similar problem, you can find 'em like so:
find / | grep "\.desktop"
the mimetypes each app is responsible for loading is stored in the *.desktop files in those directories. it took me a while of fighting with the "file associations" in konqueror before i figured that one out..
it's easier to edit mimetype-application associations from the command line too, imho. |
