Re: TDE Menu Favorites?

Well, I don't know about TDE menu favorites as you describe, but here are some workaround ideas that may fill a similar need well enough:

1. Use the "Application Finder" fuzzy search program from Xfce as a faster way of accessing the specific programs you want. I personally installed TDE on top of an existing installation of Xfce and haven't seen any compatibility issues so far (though I am new to TDE and haven't used Linux for years until recently, so I may be wrong in some subtle ways potentially).

2. Create a simple folder entitled "Favorites" on your desktop and then place symbolic links and/or hard links and/or application launchers and/or shell scripts running the required commands in there so as to thereby provide yourself with basically the same thing as what you describe, just on the desktop icon grid and file browser instead of in the start menu.

3. Figure out how to edit the menus in TDE. In Xfce there is an XML based syntax you can use to create your own menu systems and it even includes both statically and/or dynamically filled menu items (whichever you prefer for each sub-menu) if you set it up right. Perhaps TDE has something similar. I am new to it though, so I don't know.

Anyway, sorry for not knowing the actual answer that you seek, but I think you will find that one of the three above options provide ~90% to ~95 percent of the kind of easy accesibility that you want.

Hope that helps! 

TDE is awesome and I really love the 1990s to 2000s era freedom-respecting (and not overly minimalistic) nature of it! It is the best-feeling overall Linux desktop environment I've encountered.
