Where does GNOME 2.x store the menu-data?

carstenbjensen · 08-28-2003, 07:14 AM

Hi,
In GNOME 1.4 there was 'gmenu' to edit menus and remove sub-menus, but it's gone in newer versions.

I really would like to now where the data for the main menu is stored (which file, i should edit to remove/hide sub-menus etc.).

I looked in the manual, but the only thing, I found was vfolders, and this wasn't it.

Can anybody help?

If you're running nautilus, typing applications:/// into any folder window address bar will launch the interface to edit the menus but I don't know where the menu files themselves are stored.

Hi,

It don't work 'applications:/// into' just spits out an error (could not be found, try again...).

Did you write it proberly?
Or else, it might be distribution specific (?).

No, applications:/// is right:

However, I'm running Gentoo in that screenshot, Debian's probably different. One thing you may want to look into is whether or not all the GNOME VFS (virtual file system) stuff is installed and working right. Other than that, I wouldn't have a clue.

Yes, it WAS right... I just didn't write it right... Oops!

But it didn't solve my problem...
The sub-menus, I want to remove/hide, isn't in there. I gues, it's a Debian thing.
The sub-menus, I wan't to remove/hide is: 'KDE-menu' and (maybe) 'Debian-menu'.

But thanks, anyway...
