You should not change the desktop files in the directory /var/lib/menu/kde. All changes will be lost be by next KDE restart. The system wide menus (desktop files) are in /usr/share/applications. If you want to change your system wide menu, please make the change in this directory. ok then. How do I change the structure of the KDE menu? The files in /usr/share/applications are all the application links, but they contain no information on how they are categorised into the KDE menu. For example, how do I move an application from Internet->More Internet Applications to just the Internet folder? I know this can be done with kmenuedit, but that doesn't change it across the whole system. In an attempt to get a response to my previous comment, I am re-opening this bug. if you want to move an application from Internet->More Internet Applications to just the Internet folder, just replace Categories=Application;Network;X-Red-Hat-Extra; to Categories=Application;Network;X-Red-Hat-Base; you should take a look either at https://listman.redhat.com/archives/xdg-list/ or in desktop files, if you want to know more about it. |
Description of problem: When I make manual changes to the contents of /var/lib/menu/kde/ the changes are automatically over written when ever I restart KDE. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.1.2-0.9x.2 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Move any existing files or create a new file anywhere in /var/lib/menu/kde/ 2. Restart X 3. The files you moved are moved back, and the files you created are gone. Actual results: The file system is mangled by KDE. Expected results: The files stay the way I put them. Additional info:
