Learning gtkDialog (pmenu project)

[darkcity]

Hi Jemimah, is that Pmenu 0.1 from this thread?
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=40277

is it possible to add new entires?

I've been using

Menu Entry Maker

Continuing work on an updated pmenu...

pmenu-3.0.0.pet

The pet for 3.0.0 REQUIRES /usr/bin/switch2 from gtk-theme-switch-i386.pet.



Using the image preview technique developed by zigbert you can now see the icons for each menu item.
(Page 28 of the Gtkdialog - tips thread)

To edit the .desktop files the program now calls "defaulttexteditor" instead of "geany" directly.

I've also included the "Exec" path information as suggested by big_bass.

Next update will include a confirmation dialog for the Full, Empty, and Delete Item buttons. I think these are drastic actions and should require a confirmation.

I am also still planning the ability to directly edit the .desktop files from the program in the future, as long as it doesn't slow it down too much.

Also playing around with the idea of sorting the items by category instead of alphabetically...

The link to this pet no longer works. If there is a working link can someone please edit the original post.

Jemimah's links is for penu 0.1. The original post gives a link to
pmenu-3.0.0.pet

which is broken.
