hi all,

At our office we created a special menu for our local applications. This menu regroups a lot of sub-menus (with .directory) and .desktop files to start-up the different applications (about an 100 different apps..).

Our specific menu is located under .kde/share/applnk/

When we change the menu, we add our modifications to our local CVS module and then clone it back to each of our users using a local script. That script removes the .kde/share/applnk/MY-MENU and recreate it from scratch.

My problem is this: Into a specific sub-menu I wan't to sort my different applications and put the main one on top with a separator under it.

I've tried Using SortOrder= into the associated .directory with no success.. I've tried listing my underneath .desktop separated with "," or ":" or what ever using SortOrder... it never worked.

The only way I could sort this out was by using kmenuedit wich creates a ??kmenuedit??.menu file under .config/something/somethingelse.menu

I really don't wan't to synchronise another directory/file to the users accounts so adding a .config/something.menu to my cloning system is not really an option... and I don't want to mess up the users changes...

Note: We have about 125 users working on 12h shifts on a different worksattion on every time. Instead of maintaining an RPM or dpkg and changing the main /usr/share/applnk of each system it was alot more easier to directly change the user account directly from my fileserver since every account is being automounted on every server/workstation.

Any clues?

thnx!
