Wine applications go into Other menu instead of Wine
December 7th, 2008 at 10:44pm |
If your wine applications go into Other menu instead of Wine you are missing a menu config file which is not re-created by simply re-installing wine package.
.config/menus
create a folder named applications-merged
and inside a text file with wine-Programs.menu
with the following text:
<!DOCTYPE Menu PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD Menu 1.0//EN"
"http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/menu-spec/menu-1.0.dtd">
<Menu>
<Name>Applications</Name>
<Menu>
<Name>wine-wine</Name>
<Directory>wine-wine.directory</Directory>
<Menu>
<Name>wine-Programs</Name>
<Directory>wine-Programs.directory</Directory>
<Include>
<Filename>wine-Programs-Wenlin.desktop</Filename>
</Include>
</Menu>
</Menu>
</Menu>

i did all that but they are still appearing in the “other” menu…
i tried to uninstall some apps then removed the .desktop files in local/share and install again but still nothing…
do i have to delete/reinstall something else?
using xubuntu 8.04.1
ususge,
it seems there is a missing configuration file for that app in .config/menus/applications.merged/ folder,
however, if you’ve already removed the application whose links you are referring just have a look inside folder
$HOME/.local/share/applications/wine/Programs
there inside you should find the menu files for all wine applications.
hey thanks for the reply…
but i think found the problem… xfce’s menu only checks for .desktop files
its not fully freedesktop compliant or something like that…
in the applications-merged folder there are all the .menu xml files already…
looks like the new 4.6 alpha version of xfce will be freedesktop compliant
