While configuring .desktop file for an app, I was struggling with "Categories=" specification. In spite of giving correct value such as Network or X-internet-browser, it was not updating even after restarting graphical server and restarting OS also.
Unknowingly, I just played with System--setup--Menu Manager and clicked ok.
After this, the menu item got updated.
Agreed that it is simple & quick to use Menu Manager.
Still, as a cleanup/maintenance activity, how come the menu items do not get updated on restart (w/o needing to use Menu Manager separately)? Asking just out of curiosity.

Have you run in console:
before restarting the graphical server?
Code: Select all
fixmenus
You need to understand something about posting in this forum.
We always, always, always need to know what specific version of Puppy you are talking about.
There are 300+ versions of Puppy and they are all slightly different.
Most Puppies have menu>Exit>Rebuild Menu. This usually just runs fixmenus.
Some Puppies may or may not run fixmenus on boot-up.
Some may have System--setup--Menu Manager controlling all changes to the menu.
Who knows, you could have found a bug, in the Puppy version, that was not known about.

The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

You can put a script into /root/Startup containing:
This will update the menu each boot and each time X is restarted.
