Pmenu - Puppy Menu Editor |
|
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?
Cordialement

All works in 4.2 pre-Final except the button to Refresh Menus - no action there.

@ 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, well fixmenus has been heavily revised for 4.2 to improve performance, and is now called as part of the /usr/bin/refresh-menus script which also restarts the window manager to automatically display changes on the menu. Previously in JWM you had to run fixmenus then restart JWM manually to have the changes implemented in /root/.jwmrc.
The newer implementation also has a pop-up explaining what's happening, so that's why it looked to me like nothing was happening when I hit the button in your Pmenu.
The changes mentioned are in RC4 in case you wanted to try it with your program, trapster. I think it's worth including if you can make that adjustment without breaking anything.

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....
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.

yes I know the feeling all to well , If you don't say have the 'refresh' fixed in say 1 day or so, maybe WhoDO, or I could fix it for you so it gets into the final.

I wasn't asking you to do it: merely expressing a wish.
I'm still wrapping my head around the XDG menu system, and your app should be a help in understanding things.
Thanks again!
