Someone asked at one point about editing the menus in GNOME, well, I've now built and done some basic testing on packages of gnome-menu-editor. I'm happy enough with it, and I've uploaded it (see the URL in my sig). As soon as the servers synchronise, it'll be available from the usr-local-bin YaST/APT repository in the usual way.

Very nice, James, thank you! - Carl

James, is that SMEG, or the default editor that comes with Gnome 2.12? On my SuSE install (from the commercial DVD) the default editor .desktop file is present, but disabled by default. Keith -- Keith Kastorff kastorff@yahoo.com

There is no editor that comes with 2.12. This is gnome-menu-editor (put that in Google and follow the first link for more info) I wasn't aware of SMEG before, but I'm having a look now. Seems it's been renamed Alacarte (man, what a bad pun!). I've not got time to package it up today, but I'll take a look at it tomorrow. gnome-menu-editor uses GNOME Bugzilla and CVS[1], but neither of them have tarball releases on GNOME FTP.[2] [1] A requirement for being an official GNOME Desktop component [2] Not a requirement until it's part of the Desktop AFAIK. -- James Ogley james@usr-local-bin.org Packages for SUSE: http://usr-local-bin.org/rpms Make Poverty History: http://makepovertyhistory.org

Then perhaps SuSE packaged something themselves for 10... /opt/gnome/share/applications/gmenu-simple-editor.desktop If you edit the "NoDisplay" property (change from true to false), it will appear in the menus and allow you to turn on/off items in the menu, but not add/edit them. This was the functionality I read was being put into Gnome 2.12 in lieu of more capable editing.

Ah, no, you're right - but as the name suggests that's intended as a simple editor - do the minimum required, hence the existence of Alacarte and gnome-menu-editor. :) -- James Ogley james@usr-local-bin.org Packages for SUSE: http://usr-local-bin.org/rpms Make Poverty History: http://makepovertyhistory.org
