[solved] Thunar - icons in right-click-menu are gone

Hi there.
Since some time my icons in the thunar right-click-menu are gone. I guess they disappeared with thunar 1.4 but I'm not sure.
Is there a way to make them come back? I have a hand full of custom actions and the icons help me to distinguish them faster.
When I open the custom actions manager the icons are still there and are correctly from my current icon theme.
Thanks for help in advance.

Forgot:
No DE, WM: Openbox, but both gtk2 and gtk3 are there and up to date.
I realized that other icons are missing too. Thunderbird and Firefox don't have icons in their drop down menus as well.
Has something changed in gtk?
Uhrg. Just found it. In lxappearance you can tick 'Show icons in menus'. Don't know why this was unticked.
So thread is solved.

Where are some of the right click menu options?

I started using firefox 4 and i noticed a lot of the options i used in the right click menu are now gone. I used to be able to right click on an annoying image on a webpage and click "block images from" and it would give me a message at the top saying it will not always block images from that web address. Is there somewhere to get this option back? Also i can no longer right click on a tab and bookmark it from that menu is there a way to get this option back as well?

Sara, I started having the same problem yesterday. In my case I was able to remedy it by disabling FasterFox 3.9.81. If you don't have that installed, I would recommend turning off your extensions (one by one), restarting firefox, and testing until you find the offender. Hope that helps!

Right Click Menu Keeps Popping Up (Finder)

Hello all, just wondering if anyone else is having this problem in the Finder. If I right-click on something in the Finder, then left-click on something else, the right-click menu keeps popping up even if I have only one finger on my trackpad.
I tried removing my entire hand from anywhere near the trackpad and carefully touching the button with my index finger with all the rest of my fingers curled away and it still pops up the right-click menu.
The only thing that seems to cure it is switching focus to Firefox or some other application, then going back to the Finder. Clicking on a non-icon in the finder seems to help too. However, after right-clicking something then switching to a different icon, the right-click menu pops up again. Very annoying.
Anyone know a quick fix for this? Thanks in advance.

That's right, burgback. I actually think I may have found the issue: I use a prefpan / application called FolderGlance that lets you customize folders that appear in the contextual (right-click) menu. It even lets you dive into subfolders from an expanding right-click menu. Think about it as "stacks on steroids" because it lets you continue to dive into subfolders (unlike stacks...grrr).
Anyway, disabling the prefpane and removing the plugin from the ~/Library/Contextual\Menu\Items/ directory seems to have fixed the problem for now. I'll update if it doesn't, but I've been operating for about 30 minutes now without issue. Formerly the problem would rear its head about every 10 seconds I was in the Finder.
The only unfortunate part is...I love FolderGlance way more than stacks and I'm sad to see it go.

HT201403 It would be very helpful for Apple to re-instate the view as icon option for a pdf file in an email on the right click menu? As far as I can see no easy way for a basic user to get this back?

Would be great for Apple to reinstate the pdf as icon in mail - but using the right click menu. It seems to have gone - and as a basic user there seems to be no simple solution - I used the rich/plain text swap but it didn't work...
Apple - we need you to solve!

http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
It's highly doubtful that Apple will change this in Mac OS X 10.7 since that OS version has now been discontinued for quite some time. Whether they will change that in OS X 10.9 or a future version I can't say.
If this is a serious issue for you, you can look into Attachement Tamer:
http://lokiware.info/Attachment-Tamer
It's not free, but it addresses much more than the issue of PDFs appearing as images, not icons, so it might be worth the price.

I was on facebook and deleted an icon by using the right-click menu but then all my pictures and all profile pictures, could no longer be seen. I was able to view them in Explorer so this is something I did in Firefox. How can I unblock a site?'

'''I was on facebook and deleted an icon by using the right-click menu but then all my pictures and all profile pictures, could no longer be seen. I was able to view them in Explorer so this is something I did in Firefox. How can I unblock a site?'''

If you select that right-click context menu entry then you block all images from that domain and not one specific image, so do not use that.
* Check the exceptions in Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions (e.g. sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net)
You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
* Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
* Click the website favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
* Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
* Go to the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
* Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
* If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

Simple Right-click menu in Text Area

How can I simply implement a right-click menu with
the options copy-paste on a text area or editor pane?
I believe there must be ready code for sth like that.

    protected void createPopupMenu ()
        mMenu = new JPopupMenu ();
        cutOption = mMenu.add(new JMenuItem("Cut"));
        cutOption .addActionListener ( new ActionListener ()
            public void actionPerformed ( ActionEvent e )
               //do cut here
        copyOption = mMenu.add(new JMenuItem("Copy"));
        copyOption .addActionListener ( new ActionListener ()
            public void actionPerformed ( ActionEvent e )
               //do copy here
        pasteOption = mMenu.add(new JMenuItem("Paste"));
        pasteOption .addActionListener ( new ActionListener ()
            public void actionPerformed ( ActionEvent e )
               //do paste here
        });when you instantiate your textarea or editpane add this line:
        createPopupMenu (); //popup menu for right clickshould work perfectly

How do I add entries to PCManFM's right-click menu? [SOLVED]

Hello there,
Is there a way to customize PCManFM right-click menu? I'd like to add custom entries, for instance:
right click a folder and choose "Start slideshow" to get the following command executed: "qiv -smt <selected_folder>"
Can this be done? How?
This could be a system-wide setting or a user setting, I don't really care.
Thanks for any guidance.

Is there a way to open the right click menu on the left side of your pointer?

Whenever I try to right-click an object that's located on the right side of the screen, the pointer always automatically click whatever entry in the right-click menu which just happens to be under the pointer the moment the menu is opened. I noticed that the reason this happens is because the right click menu always forces itself to open on the right side of the pointer, and when there isn't enough space, the right-click menu will open underneath the pointer. Since this is horribly inconvenient, is there a way to open the right-click menu on the left side of your pointer?

Are you saying you have an icon on the far right side and when you rt click on it, your pointer ends up opening wherever it lands? That is a two step process, or normally should be at least a two step process. Do you have a Mouse in your Control Panel? You should check, because there may be some properties with which you can play. For instance, I can switch primary and secondary functions on my mouse buttons by checking a box.
When I rt click on right side, the menu opens on the left.
When I rt click on left side, the menu opens on the right.
In order for me to take an action, I then have to move to an area in that menu and click.
I hope I understood your question correctly.

How to display a seperate right click menu for each item of a tree control?

Hi I want to display a specific right click menu when a particular tree item is selected. I know how to create a menu and how to display it. I am using the function GetLabelFromIndex() to get the active tree item and then compare the label and based on the result display a manu for that item. Now my problem is that when I use the above function in the EVENT_RIGHT_CLICK it gives me the error "the Index passed is out of range" while using the same function with the same arguments in EVENT_SELECTION_CHANGE it gives no error...below is the part of my code
case EVENT_RIGHT_CLICK:
GetLabelFromIndex(panelHandle, PANEL_TREE, eventData2, label1);
//The function gives the stated error here
if(eventData1)//after it I compare the result and display the menu
case EVENT_SELECTION_CHANGE:
GetLabelFromIndex (panelHandle, PANEL_TREE, eventData2, label1);
//The function works fine here
if (eventData1)
If any one have any idea whats going on or alternate way of doing this Please share knowledge...Thanks
If you are young work to Learn, not to earn.

Hi,
one possible approach of solving this problem is looking closer at the error message: The error "the Index passed is out of range" tells you that something is wrong with the index, either it is too small or too large So why don't you set a breakpoint and check the index value, it might be useful information...
The other hint is to check the meaning of eventdata2 (using the help): It is different for different events! For the event_right_click it gives the horizontal mouse position, not the index as event_selection_change does...

How to display right-click menu for JPanel?

Hi...
I am developing an application to display a JWindow in the screen along with a TrayIcon in the system-tray area. There should be a right-click menu in both the tray icon and JWindow for further options.
I am able to create a JPopupMenu for tray icon. On right-clicking on the tray icon, the menu is being displayed. But not able to do the same for the JWindow. I am able to capture the right-click mouse event, but not able to display the menu.
This is how I am displaying the menu for the tray icon
PopupMenu popupmenu = new PopupMenu();
MenuItem menuitem1 = new MenuItem("Exit");
menuitem1.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent exx)
        System.exit(0);
popupmenu.add(menuitem1);
trayicon = new TrayIcon(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage("./images/Icon.gif"),"Right-click for more options",popupmenu);For displaying the menu in the JPanel, I am using the following snippet...
    public class MyMouseListener extends MouseAdapter
        public class MyMouseListener() {}
        @Override
        public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e)
            if (e.getButton() == MouseEvent.BUTTON3)

Copying a table with the right-click menu in schema browser fails to copy comments when string has single quote(s) (ascii chr(39))

Hi,
I'm running 32-bit version of SQL Developer v. 3.2.20.09 build 09.87, and I used the built in context menu (right-clicking from the schema browser) today to copy a table. However, none of the comments copied. When I dug into the PL/SQL that the menu-item is using, I realized that it fails because it doesn't handle single quotes within the comment string.
For example, I have a table named WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT that I wanted to copy as WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1 (within same schema name)
1. I right-clicked on the object in the schema browser and selected Table > Copy...
2. In the pop-up Copy window, I entered the new table name "WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1" and ticked the box for "Include Data" option. -- The PL/SQL that the menu-command is using is in the "SQL" tab of this window. This is what I extracted later for testing the issue after the comments did not copy.
Result: Table and data copied as-expected, but no column or table comments existed.
I examined the PL/SQL block that the pop-up window issued, and saw this:
declare
l_sql varchar2(32767);
c_tab_comment varchar2(32767);
procedure run(p_sql varchar2) as
begin
     execute immediate p_sql;
end;
begin
run('create table "BI_ETL".WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1 as select * from "BI_ETL"."WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT" where '||11||' = 11');
select comments into c_tab_comment from sys.all_TAB_comments where owner = 'BI_ETL' and table_name = 'WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT' and comments is not null;
run('comment on table BI_ETL.WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1 is '||''''||c_tab_comment||'''');
for tc in (select column_name from sys.all_tab_cols where owner = 'BI_ETL' and table_name = 'WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT')
    loop
   for c in (select comments from sys.all_col_comments where owner = 'BI_ETL' and table_name = 'WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT' and column_name=tc.column_name)
   loop
   run ('comment on column BI_ETL.WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1.'||tc.column_name||' is '||''''||c.comments||'''');
end loop;
end loop;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN NULL;
end;
The string of the table comment on WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT is this:
WBIG table of frozen, point-in-time snapshots of Enrolled Students by Category/term/pidm. "Category" is historically, and commonly, our CENSUS snapshot; but, can also describe other frequencies, or categorizations, such as: End-of-Term (EOT), etc. Note: Prior to this table existing, Census-snapshots were stored in SATURN.SNAPREG_ALL. All FALL and SPRING term records prior-to-and-including Spring 2013 ('201230') have been migrated into this table -- EXCEPT a few select prior to Fall 2004 (200410) records where there are duplicates on term/pidm. NO Summer snapshots existed in SNAPREG_ALL, but were queried and stored retroactively (including terms prior to Spring 2013) for the purpose of future on-going year-over-year analysis and comparison.
Note the single quotes in the comment: ... ('201230')
So, in the above PL/SQL line 11 grabs this string into "c_tab_comment", but then line 12 fails because of the single quotes. It doesn't know how to end the string because the single quotes in the string are not "escaped", and this messes up the concatenation on line 12. (So, then no other column comments are created either because the block throws an error, and goes to line 22 for the exception and exits.)
When I modify the above PL/SQL as my own anonymous block like this, it is successful:
declare
c_tab_comment VARCHAR2(32767);
begin
SELECT REPLACE(comments,chr(39),chr(39)||chr(39)) INTO c_tab_comment FROM sys.all_TAB_comments WHERE owner = 'BI_ETL'   AND table_name = 'WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT' AND comments IS NOT NULL;
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'comment on table BI_ETL.WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1 is '''||c_tab_comment||'''';
for tc in (select column_name from sys.all_tab_cols where owner = 'BI_ETL' and table_name = 'WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT')
    loop
   for c in (select REPLACE(comments,chr(39),chr(39)||chr(39)) comments from sys.all_col_comments where owner = 'BI_ETL' and table_name = 'WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT' and column_name=tc.column_name)
   loop
   EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'comment on column BI_ETL.WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1.'||tc.column_name||' is '||''''||c.comments||'''';
end loop;
end loop;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN NULL;
end;
On lines 4 and 8 I wrapped the "comments" from sys.all_tab_comments and sys.all_col_comments with a replace command finding every chr(39) and replacing with chr(39)||chr(39). (On line 8 I also had to alias the wrapped column as "comments" so line 10 would succeed.)
Is this an issue with SQL Developer? Is there any chance that the menu-items can handle single quotes in comment strings? ... And, of course this makes me wonder which other context menu commands in the tool might have a similar issue.
Thoughts?
thanks//jacob

I know about quick drop, but it isn't helpful here. I want to be able to right click on a string or array wire, navigate to the string or array palette, and select the corresponding "Empty?" comparator. In this case, since I do actually know where those functions live, and I'm already using my mouse to right click on the wire, typing ctrl-space to open quick drop and then typing in the function name is actually more work than navigating to it in the palette. It would just be nice to have it on hand in the location I naturally go to look for it the first time.
I don't agree with this work flow. Right hand on mouse, left hand on home keys. Pressing CTRL + Space is done with the left hands, and then you could assign "ea" to "Empty Array" both of which is accessible with the left hand. Darren posted a bunch of great shortcuts for the right handed developer.

This is much faster than waiting for any right click menu navigation, even if it is found in the suggested subpalette.

How to know the sales order closed using right click menu -Close ???

See the last line data...it have open quantity of 5 and it also have the target type 15, If I close the sales order with docentry 4 manually using right click, the open quantity will be Zero..
I need that last line result also as my output..
Hope you understand my problem.
Thank You

Run time prompts not appearing when launching BR from a right click menu

Hi!
I have a problem when trying to launch a business rule from a right click menu which is assigned to a dataform.
The rule launches but does not show/ask for the run time prompts as it should do. The run-time prompts should not be hidden (I checked also Eas and data form selections).
When using the rule form the Tools-Business Rules menu, the rule works fine. It prompts for the required variables and as they are filled in, the rule does what it is expected to.
Also, when using the same rule attached into a form (and selected "use members on form"&"run on save") the rule works correctly.
We are using version 11.1.2.1.
I already have tried restarting Planning services but without success.
What might cause this?
kind regards,
user637777

Hi!
I found out from the Oracle knowledge base:
This issue is caused by unpublished Bug 11064867 - RIGHT CLICK MENUS NOT RENDERING RUN TIME PROMPTS
In version 931 run time prompts worked correctly when launching them from a right click menu, I checked this out.
In our current version I got this working (this is kind of a workaround) by adding a new RTP variable (using the same dimension as the original RTP variable). This way I got the rule to "ask for more information" (like what were you asking for? ) and not running the rule without interruptions. This instruction was given in Oracle support (knowledge base).
kind regards,
user637777
