startmenu program list file name
hello,
how is called the name of the file where is saved the start menu program list ?
thanks
AFAIK it is a dirrectory. I think they are $KDEDIR/share/applnk (for global menus) and ~/.kde/share/applnk (for local changes). You can edit the menu with K Menu Editor.
k menu edit doesn't works very well. is there someting else ?
~/.kde/share/applnk is an empty folder....
All menu's are separated in two types (which are merged together when you click on the K-menu). The global part, which is the same for all users. These can be found in $KDEDIR. If you change something here, all users have that changes.
The local part is in ~/.kde. If you add an entry yourself or modify an entry, it will be stored in ~/.kde/share/applnk. As your directory is empty, you probably haven't added any items to the K-menu as user.
You can also try to insert applications with "kappfinder".
applnk is the old (KDE 3.1 and before) way of handling the application menu, KDE 3.2 and higher is implementing the freedesktop.org menu specification, which stores menus in /usr/share/applications or its local equivalent .local/share/applications (that are the default paths, environment varibales can change them)
