Re: XDG – creating submenus

[Angelo Moreschini <mrangelo.fedora@xxxxxxxxx>]

I use Fedora 21 ...

really I would upgrading to the last version ... but I fear to lost data (this is not a simple work).

I'll do the upgrading (but not now).

Ok, thank you for your advice  ! :-).

Only if you know it, and if  you are interested to this subject, I say that I investigate about the files with suffix *.menu that exists on my computer.

All of them are  in one directory (/etc/xdg/menu/):

    /etc/xdg/menus/kde4-applications.menu
    /etc/xdg/menus/gnome-applications.menu
    /etc/xdg/menus/documentation.menu
    /etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged/wine.menu
    /etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged/kde-office.menu
    /etc/xdg/menus/server-settings.menu
    /etc/xdg/menus/start-here.menu
    /etc/xdg/menus/kde-information.menu
    /etc/xdg/menus/preferences.menu
    /etc/xdg/menus/system-settings.menu
    /etc/xdg/menus/settings.menu
    /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu

They are many, but (in my opinion ) only two of them are (possibly) interested to the construction of sub menus (this because only this include inside them names of Categories or launchers that are on the desktop) :

• kde4-applications.menu
• gnome-applications.menu

What is the purpose of the others ?

I can think that (because this) only one file (the gnome-applications.menu - in my case) manages all the organization of submenus on the desktop.

Would be interesting to know if it exist some tool that manage the structure of this files (that has a structure of XML language) and also to know what is the Data Type Definition that define the syntax of XML used (in order to manage manually it)..

Thank you

Angelo

Why are you using such an old version of Fedora?  I don't think I can help you with that.

_at the command line :*yum list gnome-tweak-tools *I get :_*
*
Error: No matching Packages to list

It probably didn't even exist yet at that time.
