[SOLVED] XFCE menu entry problem

For some reason that I don't recall, I had qt installed. After removal though, there is still the "Qt Designer" item in the Xfce menu. I've followed the wiki's instructions but couldn't remove it.
/usr/share/applications looks like this:
Terminal.desktop gkbd-indicator-plugins-capplet.desktop nvidia-settings.desktop xfce-display-settings.desktop xfce4-logout.desktop
Thunar-bulk-rename.desktop gksu-properties.desktop pidgin.desktop xfce-keyboard-settings.desktop xfce4-mixer.desktop

I've solved it. Turns out, some menu entries are stored in ~./local/share/applications. Removing it there solved the problem.

How do I sort alphabetically xfce menu entries?

Hi, all.
Just finishing an install and want my xfce4 menu entries to be sorted automatically and updated if I add an application. I've seen this documented somewhere, but can't find it, now.
Does anyone know how to sort the menu?
Cheers,
Chris.

please see the xfce4 wiki. it's a little complicated

Apologies for the double post,
removing xfwm4-tiling and xfwm4 --replace have fixed the issue
Thanks.

I have the same problem
I removed xfwm4-tiling and yes it appeared to fix the problem.
Just to make sure I rebooted and the problem is back.
Any other suggestions ?

Check again which version of xfwm4 you have installed (e.g. xfwm4 -V; pacman -Qi xfwm4; etc), and make sure to upgrade to the latest.
well, i found that i had installed xfwm4-tiling 4.8.3-1 ... i removed that and i install xfwm4 4.10.0-1 and solved problem!!!
thanks for the help!!!

[SOLVED] xfce-panel causing problems with mouse/touchpad

Since upgrading the packages below I mouseclicks occasionally do not work. Also scrolling using the scrollwheel and touchpad doesn't start sometimes. I determined it is not a problem with the mouse or touchpad because 'xev' shows the correct events firing. Also I see the icon change from arrow to hand when clicking.
<edit>
It appears that "xfce4-panel" is the cause. I use tint2 instead of xfce-panel, but the process running an empty panel is started by default and somehow interfered with mouse and touchpad events. solved it by removing it from the session, and comment it out in /etc/xdg/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-session.xml

Good Luck.

[SOLVED]Xfce menu items missing

Some of my applications that should be in the menu are not there. There are some that I have forgotten about, but one I have missing is flightgear. Sometimes gl-117 shows up in the menu, but sometimes not and never in the games section. Wine does not show up either. Could someone please tell me how to get all the items up. Thanks.

I guess so. I am using the menu that was there by default. I will go through the .desktop
files and look for OnlyShowIn=GNOME and add ;XFCE. The desktop files are in /usr/share/applications, right?
Thanks for the reply.

Getting menu entries to point to a URL

Hi,
I am pretty new to the Portal Administration Console and trying to solve a menu related problem.
I have a simple menu structure like:
Topmenu
Submenu A
Submenu A1 (default)
Submenu A2
Submenu B
Submenu B1 (default)
I am looking for the functionality such that I can point the menu links Topmenu, Submenu A to a page other than Submenu A1 (like for example a sort of introductionary page). I tried the hidden functionality of the pages but that did not really seem to have the desired effect.
So I guess my question is if its necessary to have a menu entry for such a start page, like:
Topmenu
Submenu A
Startpage (default)
Submenu A1
Submenu A2
EDIT: Forgot to mention we use Weblogic Portal 9.2.1
Kind regards

Hi,
I think you will have to place a button with no appearance and no border overtop of the image control (so they have to have a container subform with positioned layout). Then in the click event of the button use the app.launchURL(url,true); command to open the facebook page.

Problems with the "Xfce Menu"[SOLVED]

I was changing settings for the xfce menu and I created a copy of the ~/.config/xfce4/desktop/menu.xml file.
I may also have set it to use a custom menu file.
I right click on the menu and click properties. The window doesn't open, and the right click menu won' t appear for the rest of the session. If I add a new menu, it will work until I delete the old one.

[SOLVED] XFCE customize menu help: applications and directory menu

I've been trying to make some progress with customizing XFCE menus. There are two menus I'm trying to create, listed below.
Yes, i have read http://wiki.xfce.org/howto/customize-menu
No, I'm not saying I understood all of it.
1. I want to have a custom Applications menu that lists all installed applications, without categorization. Preferably alphabetical. I'm guessing it has a lot to do with adding a lot of <include> directives.

2. I want to make a different Directory menu, possibly by implicating a custom Applications menu. If I could locate the .menu file for the Directory menu panel item, I would like to make minor adjustments to the menu, and invoke it through the Applications menu panel item.
I should state that what I'm trying to accomplish is
a) to remove the submenu-like options with the Directory menu (open Folder, open in Terminal) to have one-click to open the folder directory
b) to add a label next to the panel icon (aesthetics), which would be accomplished through using the Applications menu panel item.
Edit: clarity
Last edited by heyitstallchris (2014-07-31 02:02:36)

Firstly, I'll tackle menu 1.
No need to create an include line for every .desktop file. Do the following:
$ mkdir ~/.config/menus
$ cd ~/.config/menus
$ touch custom-apps.menu
Edit the file we have just created and populate it with the following:
<!DOCTYPE Menu PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD Menu 1.0//EN"
"http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/menu-spec/1.0/menu.dtd">
<Menu>
<Name>Applications</Name>
<DefaultAppDirs/>
<DefaultDirectoryDirs/>
<DefaultMergeDirs/>
<Include>
<Category>X-Xfce-Toplevel</Category>
<Category>Settings</Category>
<Category>Accessibility</Category>
<Category>Core</Category>
<Category>Legacy</Category>
<Category>Utility</Category>
<Category>Development</Category>
<Category>Education</Category>
<Category>Game</Category>
<Category>Graphics</Category>
<Category>Audio</Category>
<Category>Video</Category>
<Category>AudioVideo</Category>
<Category>Network</Category>
<Category>Office</Category>
<Category>System</Category>
</Include>
<Layout>
<Merge type="all"/>
</Layout>
</Menu>
Now just create an application menu panel item and point it to the custom menu file we just created.
This will display every application installed on your system, and any custom .desktop entries you may create (as long as they are set in one of the categories in the menu file). Add or remove categories as you need.
If you want to have the "Run Program" and other "Action" items that are in the default Xfce menu, add a category line for "X-Xfce-Toplevel"
Alternatively, you can forego all the <Category></Category> lines and simply use <All/>
[EDIT] and since this is using garcon (Xfce's menu library), the apps will be in alphabetical order [/EDIT]
Cheers.

[SOLVED] XFCE 4.12 upgrade problems

i was using XFCE 4.10 and everything worked great. i upgraded last night and now when i first X the XFCE menu panel takes 30 to 60 seconds to show up where as before it was instant. anyone know why this is going on? its not my computers speed cuz i've got a great machine.

I was having a similar problem after upgrading to 4.12. The panel would show up when I logged in, but it was taking about 40 seconds for anything to appear on the panel.
In my case, when I changed the icon I was using for the panel's Application Menu button, the problem went away, the panel and all its buttons now show up right away when I log in. Xfce 4.12 doesn't like something about that particular icon image, but I'm not sure what it is. I hope that for you it's something as simple as this.
oh wow, that was exactly the problem! thank you so much!

[solved] Hiding certain .desktop files in the XFCE menu?

Is there a way to hide .desktop menu entries in the XFCE menu without removing them from the system?
For example, there is an entry called "Recording Level Monitor" after installing some gnome dependencies for rhythmbox. It's a useless app to me and I'd like to have it hidden for good. I suppose I could delete the .desktop file, and I wouldn't hesitate to do so, but I have the feeling it'll keep coming back on -Syu's.

[SOLVED] Existing GRUB Win menu entries don't appear

Hi,
Just finished a fresh dual boot (Arch-64/Win7-64), dual HDs installation.
I've installed os-prober prior to installing grub, and indeed a (seemingly) correct menu entry was added (in segment 30-see below).
Yet after reboot, this entry does NOT appear!
I've tried adding a respective entry in the 40-custom, (and ran ' grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg' afterwards), yet still the same (menu entry appears in grub.cfg yet does NOT appear after reboot!).
Please advise!

[Solved] Can't start GParted from XFCE menu

Hi,
I have polkit installed but I can't start GParted from the XFCE menu. Do I need to edit any configuration files to make this work? The wiki isn't very clear about what to do after installing polkit. Thanks.

In my Xfce4 installation, it's /usr/share/applications/GParted, which I copied over to ~/.local/share/applications/, as kaixi suggested, and it appeared there as gparted.desktop. Right-click for Properties > Launcher > Command, and in that field (not wanting to install gksu) I put sudo gparted, which works, thanks.

Issues with old menu entries and old custom menus [Xfce]

Hello, this is the issue:
The main menu keep showing old entries for programs I already deleted: For example, I have an entry for the indie game FEZ even tough I already deleted this game. I know that programs have a .desktop file located in "~/.local/share/applications" and/or in "/usr/share/applications", but I already deleted both files and this is not happening just with the FEZ entry but with other old menu entries including custom entries. I don't know why the keep showing up even tough I removed both .desktop files for each one of those entries. I think that there is another file that I'm missing or some kind of menu cache that I have to update but I don't which nor how. Additionally I have to say that I'm using the whisker menu plugin but the entries also show up on the stock xfce4 menu.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance, Shadow_Reaper13

I forgot to say that those annoying entries does not appear neither on menulibre nor in alacarte so I cannot delete them using one or another. Those entries does not appear on those menu editors even before I delete the .desktop files.

WAD - adding menu entries with JavaScript - help please!

Hiya,
I am completely new to JavaScript and I need some help with adding menu entries into my WAD template. Can anyone please help?
I want to add functionality into my WAD template to enable users adding results rows on a selected characteristic, at a single mouse click. Currently they need to go to the menu -> properties -> characteristic -> display results -> always -> ok. That's five clicks of a mouse (provided they know were to go).
I want to add this option to the basic menu so that they can click once only.
What I have managed to figure out so far using SAP help is the following. I have added a Script Item into my WAD Layout and added the following line of code in the Script Editing window:
sapbi_addToMenu("Add totals", "alternate_context_menu", "X","CHARACTERISTIC", "", "bottom", "", "")
It worked fine in that it added an extra item "Add totals" to my menu when I righclick on a characteristic. So far so good. However, I have no idea what function I should be using here, or how to code it. Surely WAD uses some function to perform this action, something that I could reuse? Is there a library somewhere of all the function used in WAD?
Can anyone please help with the code?
Many thanks,
Agata

Hiya again,
I have managed to partially solve this problem by using the following code. However it requires me to define on which characteristic the function is performed. In this case I have managed to get it working on 0PROJECT, but I want it to be ANY characteristic which has been right clicked?
Any ideas how I can pass the characteristic name as a VARIABLE, whose value would be read automatically when menu is triggered?

* @param defaultCommandSequence - the initially used sequence of commands that
*       would have been used instead of the custom
*       script.

commandSET_RESULT_VISIBILITY_1.addParameter( paramTARGET_DATA_PROVIDER_REF_LIST );
/* End parameter TARGET_DATA_PROVIDER_REF_LIST */

/* End parameter CHARACTERISTIC */
/* Create parameter RESULT_VISIBILITY */
var paramRESULT_VISIBILITY = new sapbi_Parameter( "RESULT_VISIBILITY", "VISIBLE" );

/* End parameter RESULT_VISIBILITY */
// Add the command to the command sequence
commandSequence.addCommand( commandSET_RESULT_VISIBILITY_1 );
* End command commandSET_RESULT_VISIBILITY_1
//Send the command sequence to the server

Why does debugger menu entry not exist in Acrobat 7.1.0

Today I decided to start using the JavaScript functionality of my Acrobat 7.1.0 (updated a few days ago from 7.0.x). First I searched for some documentation and found the original "Acrobat JavaScript Scripting Guide" for Acrobat 7.0, document release date July 19, 2005. What made me doubt about the quality of my environment is that there are always some features mentioned that do not at all exist in my Acrobat, such as menu entries like "Debugger" under "Advanced - Javascript". The only thing I find there is "define document actions" (menu entry translated from German). Reading other posts in this forum concerning Javascript I searched other places like acrobatusers.com and, checking the tutorials, I saw screenshots of preference screens containing more items than my ones, especially more items in the "debugger" panel of the "Javascript" entry. When searching places on my drive where Acrobat should expect JavaScript files like "Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Acrobat\Javascripts" I remember having read that there should be more files than just "Websearch.js" and "JSByteCodeWin.bin" (as it is in my case; but I'm not sure what actually should be there further).
So far the only thing I can do to open the console is defining some action related with files (but only unhandy ones like "when closed" or "when saved"). The only way I know to open the JS debugger is defining invalid JS code for some file action and perform this action, then the debugger shows up along with the console, complaining.
Strolling arround in my Acrobat program subdirectories I found documentation and a runnable named "ExtendedScript Toolkit" that seemed to work well (though I could not try it out seriously as it obviously is quite complicated because it relies on the InDesign object model). Did ExtendedScripting coming along with InDesign spoil my normal JavaScript environment in Acrobat? Or was it the update from Acrobat 7.0.0 to 7.1.0? How can it be that menu entries everybody else is talking about are not at all visible in my installation though I desparately enabled almost everything in my Acrobat preference settings? Are there some paranoid web security defaults making entries disappear in my installation?
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
Richard

Bernd,
the matrix is for Acrobat 9 only and thus not totally liable. However, as for V9 the topic of scripting or debugging is not even touched in the whole matrix, one might suggest that V7 would also make no differences in that area.
I am only guessing, but the fact that I do not find any hint about a problem similar to my one might have to do something with the "ExtendedScript Toolkit" I mentioned above. If the behavior of my Acrobat installation had been changed due to installing ExtendedScript, this would be a kind of (intended) bug most users would not complain about, because: ExtendedScript comes along with software like InDesign, and the typical ID user is not the one developing JavaScript under Acrobat.
Searching Google for ExtendedScript I found the Adobe download area and clicking on the item it says:
The ExtendScript Toolkit (ESTK) 1.0.3 is a scripting utility included with Adobe® Creative Suite 2 and other Adobe applications. The ESTK is used for creating, editing, and debugging JavaScript to be used for scripting Adobe applications.
Looking up documentation on ExtendedScript (which was not very easy to find) I noticed some examples about adding a document to the target application by executing the line:
app.document.add();
As I am starting the ES toolkit as an own main program, I am getting the error message that this call is not executable for the target application "main", which I can accept. Maybe there is a way connecting Acrobat to ExtendedScript, maybe there is even a way to reanimate "normal" scripting, maybe normal scripting is not even unconscious but only sleeping and can be woken up easily ...
Maybe the best way to find out is searching for a forum about scripting (albeit extended or normal). Funny, though, that my Acrobat does not at all match the original scripting documentation of Adobe concerning such elementary things like menu entries being present (especially see second attachment: "Erweitert" translates to "Advanced", "Dokument-Aktionen festlegen" to "Define document actions". Where is the "Debugger" entry???).
If I believe others here in this forum saying that the "Debugger" entry normally is appearing in the Javascript menu. Obviously the Acrobat software contains program code to hide or remove this entry permanently. Furthermore, somebody else, also a member of the Adobe stuff, has written the documentation that does not at all contain any applying description of conditions about hiding the menu entry. What I would appreciate is if Adobe would make those two persons talk to each other about what they are doing. By that, other people like me could save a lot of time.
