Due to a lot of new posters asking how to remove items from the menu, I hacked together Pmenu.
Click on menu items to remove them from the menu. There is also the option to place them back into the menu.
Pmenu will be found under "Utilities".

Comments / Feedback ?

Edit 3/25/09
Added Pmenu-0.2 for Puppy4.20 only.
Updated Refresh Menu button to use refresh-menus from puppy4.20 which will update the menu and restart jwm.

@trapster,
Good initiative and a bad needed functionality. makes puppy much better. Hope it gets into 4.2x and/or up.

Trapster,

Just tested on Pizza Pup 3.0. Very nice! Lotta bang for the buck. Definitely should come standard on Puppy. Good work!

Bonjour,
Just great!
Test in 4.20 RC4. The package did not want to install. I installed manually and it works very well.
Would it be possible for better understanding to display the "comment" of program when moving the mouse over a menu entry?

@ WhoDo:
"Refresh Menu" runs fixmenus. Is that still included in the latest?
Maybe I should have a popup window explaining that the menu is being updated?

@ esmourguit
I'm not sure why it didn't want to install for you.
I would need help on adding mouseover comments but I will look into it.

Ah, thank you. I'll have to play with this.

What I'd love to see would be something that would let me move entries from one category to another, and create new categories.

For instance, I have stuff in Utilities that really ought to be elsewhere, and I've been poking around in the background to see what's involved in created a Development menu for things like Python, Eclipse, and Emacs.

I knew somebody was going to ask about categories.... Rolling Eyes

Again...that one is currently above my head. Please feel free to amend anything to improve it. This was just something I threw out there.

@ WhoDo
I'll look into the fixmenus when I get a chance.
I have been using this in 4.10 and have not tried it in 4.20RC4 yet.

Job comes first, then family, then my (puppy) time.
Not necessarily in that order...LOL
