[opensuse] Custom menu item for starting application
Hello opensuse@opensuse.org! I need to create an own menuitem into Gnome/Kde application menu for logged user only. When I copy myapp.desktop file into ~/.local/share/applications/ then Gnome or KDE show my new item in "Others" or "Lost and Found". Of course I know how to manipulate ~/.config/menus/applications.menu file to get my menu item to the position I want, but I want to avoid of manipulation of existing applications.menu file, but rather I want to add my own myapp.menu file which will be worked out and it moves my icon to the right submenu (Office). I've read to copy myapp.menu file into ~/.config/menus/application-merged/ but it doesn't help. PS: I will create the requested files from installation script file which is started in context of logged user, because the application is installed into home directory. Thanks for all ideas in advance. -- Best regards, TRoland http://www.rotursoft.sk http://exekutor.rotursoft.sk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
