K menu editting

hi, I'd like to have multiple K menu's (or something like that, doesn matter if they're K menu, or some other menu) wich I can edit indepandantly of each other. if i edit one of the K menus with the menu editor, the others will change too, wich is not what i want. I like to have multiple menus, like in gnome, wich I can edit too, so i can find things faster. does anyone know how to do this?

Unfortunately, that isn't possible. You can have as many K Menus, but they will all use the same configuration/setup.

As an alternative for launching favorite apps quickly, you can use the Quick Launcher panel applet. Or try something like Tasty Menu, which has a section for favorites. Or you could try Katapult, a launcher (app, bookmark, document, etc) in the style of Quicksilver for Mac OS X.

RE: K menu editting

your k menu settings are stored in ~/.config/menus/applications-kmenuedit.menu

you could use menu editor to generate a config, save it, and then do this

cp ~/.config/menus/applications-kmenuedit.menu ~/.config/menus/backup_menu_1

and then write a script containing

#!/bin/sh
cp ~/.config/menus/backup_menu_1 ~/.config/menus/applications-kmenuedit.menu

(from 'cp' to 'kmenuedit.menu' is all one line)

(for this example, we'll make a directory ~/menus and save the script there as changer_1.sh , and make it executable)

and then right-click on the panel, and go to
panel menu > add application to panel > add non-kde application
and then put the path to the script you just wrote in there where it says "executable" (and give it an easy-to-remember button and description)

(for example, ~/menus/changer_1.sh)

and now you have a button that will load up the menu you just made whenever you click on it.

Repeat as many times as you want menus
