Remove applications from the list in activities overview in GNOME

I am looking to edit which applications are listed in the "All Applications" in the activities overview in GNOME, since a lot them are NEVER used, and makes the menu look very messy.
Any clues on how to this? I installed the alacarte prog, but it can only edit the "other" menu...

Hi,
I have done it this way, but I do not think it is a very good solution. You can go to /usr/share/applications and delete the applications .desktop files that you do no want to show up in the GNOME 'All Applications'. However, I recommned not to delete but move the applications you do not want to use to another separate folder. Because, if ever you want the application you removed to show up again in 'All Applications' you can just move it back again to /usr/share/applications.

  • Remove applications from the "open with" menu

    How do you remove applications from the "open with" context menu? I seem to have one instance of a program for every time it was "updated." So my "open with" menu has about 8 instances of Adobe Acrobat, 3 or 4 of Word, etc. It's obnoxious and cumbersom. Any idea how to edit this context menu? Thanks.

    hi joshua,
    you can solve it in two ways:
    1)open terminal and copy and paste:
    /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/\
    Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Support/lsregister \
    -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
    enter and wait the prompt
    2) delete this files and restart
    library/caches/com.apple.LaunchServices-xxxxx.csstore
    (more than one files with the xxxx i mean number)

  • How to remove SANE from the list of scanners that are shared in Preferences

    So I installed SANE for an old scanner, which is now replaced by a new Canon that is supported by native OSX and canon drivers. I therefore uninstalled SANE, the prefpane and all occurrences in the /Library and so on, however it is still being listed as an option in the scanners that can be shared i.e. in System Preferences>Sharing>Scanner sharing.
    How do I go about removing this, any hints?
    I also have this suspicion that this is the root of major issues I have accessing the scanner on my system some times, since I get "scanner communication errors" quite frequently, which are in turn resolved my plugging my scanner off and back on again...I did reinstall the software and drivers that came with the scanner to no avail.
    Thanks

    Hey, I used wonder as well where the information was stored regarding the scanner sharing and I think I found a solution. Here's what I found. Download an application that can edit .plist files, such as Martin Bresink's "Prefedit" or "PlistEdit Pro".
    Go to this location: ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost and find the file "com.apple.ImageCaptureExtension2.[xxxxxxxxxxxx].plist" where X's stands for your specific Ethernet/Airport Mac address.
    Edit the file using the application mentioned and remove your scanner/device (SANE) from the Devices list (remove the device number, ie. 0 or 1 or 2, etc). Save the file. If unable to save, change permissions to own the file, save it, and reset the permissions.
    That removed the shared scanner from my list of scanners in the sharing preference.
    Hope it works.

  • How can I remove applications from the location service?

    In System Preferences> Security & Privacy> Privacy> Location Services are applications that ask the system to use the position of the Mac
    I realized, after uninstalling applications (Beta and Tweetbot Tweetbot 1.0MacAppStore and also Busycal)
    are not removed completely.
    In place of the icon there is a sheet with the application name
    Can anyone tell me how to clean this section?
    Applications the uninstall utilizizzando CleanMyMac, AppZapper and CleanApp
    but I did not get the desired result.
    I also looked into the operating system, but I found no trace

    You can't remove anything in that list - it is placed there by the system unfortunately. As long as you do not have any checked, nothing will happen. When I got my new MBP, I immediately unchecked the "enable location services" and assume that is the reason why there is nothing showing at all:
    However, I have a number of applications listed in the Contacts section - I've not allowed any because I fail to see a valid reason why a word processing app or iMovie needs my Contacts.

  • I've got remember passwords activated but have changed one of my passwords and had to remove it from the list. It's not offering the option to remember the password for this site any more. help!

    I've had this happen on a couple of sites where I've changed passwords. It doesn't offer to remember the new password whether I login when that side is still on the list of those with saved passwords, or whether I delete that site from the 'saved passwords' list first. It just...doesn't offer the option to save the password. How can I fix this???

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Private+Browsing
    *You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
    *To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>
    * Deselect: [ ] "Permanent Private Browsing mode"
    Some sites like PayPal and bank sites use autocomplete="off" to prevent Firefox from saving and filling in the name and the password.
    If a site uses autocomplete="off" then look at this article for a bookmarklet to remove that autocomplete attribute and Firefox will offer to store the name and password.

  • HT5085 Can I remove applications from the Cloud that I now longer want to be associated with my Apple ID?

    I have applications that have been downloaded on my iPad and iPhone via my Apple ID, but I no longer want them associated with my account. Is there a way to permentanly delete them? If so, how?
    I have already deleted them from the devices.
    Most of these apps are free, so I'm not worrying about having to pay for them again if I'd ever want to download them in the future (which I probably won't).
    Thanks!

    You cannot delete them from icloud.
    You can hide them.

  • Remove Applications from "Open With..." List

    Ever since I installed Adobe Creative Suite, there have been countless applications available in the Open With... list for image file types (JPEGs, PNGs, etc.).
    How do I remove applications from that list for a given file type?
    Thanks!

    There are a whole bunch of mostly useless little droplets that are installed by Photoshop and ImageReady. You can either toss them all, toss all but the one or two you might use, or just zip them and then if you ever want one unzip, take what you want and rezip the others (I kept Make Sepia Tone.exe and zipped all the others, and put a text file with a list of them all in the parent folder). Here's the location:
    "/Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS/Samples/Droplets"
    There is one folder full of ImageReady ones, and another folder of the Photoshop ones. If you trash them you can also get them back from the install disk. After you zip or trash them restart the computer and your Open with list will be back to normal.

  • How can we remove items from the VF04 list?

    We have a long list of items in VF04 that, for various reasons (some process related, some due to errors), are not to be billed. We have looked at applying filters to the list but there is nothing really suitable to hide these individual documents e.g. we could filter out some dates where none of the items on that date are to be billed but other dates have a mix of items we want to bill and others we don't.
    I have done a search of this forum but didn't find a previous topic with a quick and simple method to remove items from the list .
    Is there a method, other than billing them or sorting each issue individually, to permanently remove individual documents from the VF04 list?
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    David

    Hi,
    David,
    Download a list of Pending delivers doc form VF04.
    Paste the list in T.Code : VL09 (Delivery reversal) and reverse the delivery.
    Then go to T.Code: VL06G Select the list of deliveries that has been reversed, select/delete all un- wanted deliveries.
    This way you can remove all unwanted pending deliveries forn Billing due list (VF04).
    Thanks & Regards,

  • How to remove available downloads from the list

    how to remove available downloads from the list without it resuming when i open itunes or check for available downloads?

    There is not a way to remove them from the list.  Just let them download, and then delete them from your library when they are done.

  • How do you remove recipients from the To list?

    Say you want to send an email to multiple recipients. You add a few recipients to the To list but then change your mind about including one of them. How do you remove one from the list? So far the only way I can see is go cancel the whole message and start again.

    Touch the persons name you wish to remove. It will highlight in blue. Then hit the destructive backspace (delete) key on the keyboard.

  • Can't remove items from the selectMenu

    I am using selectMenu as:
    <a4j:region selfRendered="true"  id="text">
                <h:selectOneListbox id="symbol" value="#{user.name}">
                  <f:selectItems value="#{user.temp_list}" />
              </h:selectOneListbox>
    <a4j:commandButton action="#{user.getData}" reRender="symbol" value="Get"/>
    </a4j:region>temp_list has following three values when page loads:
    temp_list.add(new SelectItem("Sunday"));
    temp_list.add(new SelectItem("Monday"));
    temp_list.add(new SelectItem("Tuesday"));Now in user.getData i want to remove items one by one based on the selection made by the user. The code is:
    temp_list.remove(0);
    this.setTemp_list(temp_list);But the problem is that if user selects Sunday for example, it remove it from the list but next time when user select Monday it removes monday but BRING BACK SUNDAY AGAIN IN THE LIST. Why is it so?

    BalusC wrote:
    I don´t understand you.Actually i was asking about the code which i mentioned in my last post.
    Okay then what could be the solution? What my thinking is that calling list.remove actually removes the item from the list permenantly, isn't it? If so then why does it showing me again in the selectMenu?

  • How do I remove computers from the authorized list

    Has anyone been able to remove computers from the authorized list without waiting to get 5 then removing all? I have had 3 computers die and need to have only my two new ones listed

    You can only remove them when you hit 5 authorized. Normally you go to Store>Deauthorize this computer.
    Without computer you go to itunes program>itunes store>Account on right>Deauthorize all. Will have to hit 5 to have the option though.
