yea, i believe those icons are apart of the pupevent pet that needs updating.

hallo

Does anybody know hot to edit in xfce the right click menu on the desktop- I can't find the script. I'm loosing some Icons and would like to repair it

[stifiling]

Swiatmar...looks like we both interested in the same things. but to fix the menu...this is the information the worked for me that Gray posted.


Also the new puppy package manager in 4.3 changes any categories that it does not recognise in .desktop files to 'BuildingBlock' which screws up the menus in the xfce pet.

for example the category in the /usr/share/applications/help.desktop should be X-Xfce-Toplevel;


so pretty much if you right click on the help icon in /usr/share/applications....and open in mousepad, u'll see the category says BulidingBlocks...you should change it from that to X-Xfce-Toplevel.

it's a couple other icons in the /usr/share/applications folder that needs to be changed in the same manner as well. 'Run Program' is another one.

I myself jus switched to the new NOP 4.3...which is working very, very well.

already fixed :

there is a little difference between NOP 413 and 431 but with help of CatDude we found a solution

Thanks, Gray, as always for your work.

BTW, I wonder if you wouldn't mind editing the first post in this conversation to make it clear to casual passersby that you have to add "BuildingBlock" as a category in /etc/xdg/menus/xfce-applications.menu

please help!!
i have xfce 4.6 but i want all programs open in Thunar.
now, sometimes open with rox. (from pmount eg).

I had done earlier to open always thunar but i dont remember the way.
thank you.

[alfisti]

ok!
i change the file /usr/local/bin/rox as:


#!/bin/sh
# redirect rox calls to thunar

if [ $# -eq 0 ];then
thunar /root
exit
fi
if [ "$1" = "-D" ];then
exit
fi
if [ "$1" = "-d" ];then
shift
thunar "$@"
exit
fi
if [ -d "$1" ];then
thunar "$@"
exit
fi

thanks

I've been following the changes to XFCE for a while now, and with the latest changes in .8 I think I'm ready to give it another shot again (last time I used it was v3 I think. They really seem to have stepped up their game with this release.
Any chance you (or anyone reading this thread) will be compiling the latest release? It's been out since Jan so I figure the bugs have been worked out at this point.

Nope ?
Here is the proof to the contrary.
