Listmates,

I can't find out how to add applications to the task bar. When I choose edit panel, all the choices I have are to add widget add panel. Is the add application option hiding somewhere else.

Hi,

There isn't. Just drap&drop the application shortcut to the panel..

Regards,

Luiz

Luiz, all,

After trying -- that doesn't work. I use the "Classic Style" menu and there doesn't appear to be any way to just drag-n-drop an entry from the menu to the taskbar. Am I missing something?

I don't think so, David, because I just tried myself and from my perspective the "drop/drag" thing is a myth.

Perhaps we need to submit this to the mythbusters show.

Best resolution of a problem I've heard here by far! :-) Ciao. -- Understanding only begins with the act of perception. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Yeah, its kind difficult to make this think work, first the panel should be unlocked, second you have to open the panel's toolbox (in the right corner of the panel) then you can drag&drop, but sometimes it didn't work ;-)

You don't need to keep the panel settings opened. Just unlock widgets and dran&drop the icon. The difficult part is to find the right pixel to drop the icon in! -- ___ Salvatore Brigaglia http://www.kde-italia.org http://opensourcecat.blogspot.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Luiz, This is where the problem is. From the kickoff menu you CAN drag-n-drop an "application" to the task bar, but you CANNOT add an "application folder" to the taskbar in any way, shape form or fashion the way you can add a folder to the taskbar in KDE 3. Adding a folder to the taskbar is the only legitimate way to get the applications you want at your finger-tips without completely filling the taskbar up with a lot of silly icons. I use menu editor to create a folder under "Utilities/dcrTools" which itself has subfolders and then I fill it with the applications I want at my finger-tips. This is what we need the capability to add to the taskbar, not one application at a time. Here is a screenshot of my menu: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/screenshots/kde/taskbar-menu.jpg How do I add that to the taskbar in kde4? -- David C.
