Right-click menu shows items I've hidden [jwm] (Solved)

[proebler]

There are three ways to bring up the main menu in Puppy:
The Menu button in the tray, or using F12 or right-clicking the desktop.

I have set up a customized Puppy based on upupbb-18.05 [Bionic-Beaver] in which I hide most of the main menu items.
The main menu shows what/how I want it, when I bring it up through the Menu button or through F12.

However when I bring it up by right-clicking the desktop, then all menu categories are shown, including the ones which I have hidden.
No [sub] menu entries are shown, provided they have all been hidden with the Menu Manager.

I load LibreOffice from SFS at boot.
Since I have hidden the main menu categories Graphic, Document, Business and Personal, LibreOffice's applications do not show when the Menu button or F12 are used. This is how I want it.

However when right-click is used to show the main menu, then LibreOffice applications show in categories Graphic, Document, Business and Personal.
The entries for LibreOffice 'Draw' in the Graphic category are in triplicate.

Is there a way to modify what the right-click main menu shows?
I have not been able to locate the file which sets that menu.
I know how to customize /root/.jwmrc [even how not to show the LibreOffice apps within their categories when the latter are not hidden].

thanks

IIRC tray-button and f12 are configured in /etc/xdg/templates/_root_.jwmrc as root:9, whereas rightclicking is generated by a script. ~/.jwm/root_menus/menu3 is a link to it.

Code: Select all

<!-- root menus for MOUSE activation -->
...
<RootMenu label="3" labeled="false" height="24" onroot="3"><Include>exec:$HOME/.jwm/root_menus/menu3</Include></RootMenu>
...
<!-- jwm menus for puppy Linux -->
<RootMenu label="Menu" labeled="false" height="24" onroot="9">

Generally you will have to run the command "fixmenus" and restart JWM for any changes to stick.

@ HerrBert
thank you for pointing me in the right direction.
By modifying /usr/local/jwm_config/menu_build_main I can achieve what I want.
I have the main menu, brought up with right-click on the desktop, now showing the same as with F12 or the tray button.
Vielen Dank!

I am having the same issue with bionicpup64, but there is no directory or the file...,

[HerrBert]

sorry, but i'm not familiar with bionicpup.

maybe someone else can jump in to help?

Gychang, you'll have better luck if you start a new thread describing your problem, rather than adding to this old thread.
