|
|
The question is the subject. After upgrading to KDE4 I lost some of applications such as kile from the "Applications Menu". How can I get those back? Another thing is that KOrganizer lost all my entries which did never happen with upgrades before... |

Which version of kile are you using? Kile 2.1 beta, which you should upgrade to anyway as everything depending on qt3 will be going the way of the Dodo soon, should by default be in your menu,
Code: |
$ qlist kile | grep desktop
/usr/share/applications/kde4/kile.desktop
/usr/share/mimelink/text/x-kilepr.desktop
|
because it installs the appropriate *.desktop file which is automatically included in kickoff. |

If I do qlist kile | grep desktop I get:
/usr/kde/3.5/share/applications/kde/kile.desktop
/usr/kde/3.5/share/mimelnk/text/x-kilepr.desktop
even if I upgraded to KDE 4...
If I look up the version kile gives 2.0.3 (using kde 3.5.10). That's weired. It doesn't seem to get that KDE 4 is running... |

Why should kile-2.0.x care whether KDE 4 is running or not? As long as the required KDE3 libs are installed it does not.
So you have 2 options:
- Upgrade to kile-2.1_betaX from the kde-testing overlay.
Actually this is the better option IMO, as it is quite usable, unlike other KDE4 ports I could name. The only thing that I found not to work is spellchecking, because it pipes the text without the -t flag to aspell, so aspell also spellchecks all LaTeX commands, which is annoying.
- Copy /usr/kde/3.5/share/applications/kde/kile.desktop to /usr/share/applications/ or /usr/share/applications/KDE3. Open the file with a text editor and adjust the paths specified in there, if necessary.
You will also have to copy kile's icons into the folder hierarchy in /usr/share/icons if you want them to show up in KDE4's menu.
