(Solved) Right click - added a program, and now can remove it, any hints?
« on: March 02, 2010, 12:46:53 PM »
I have an application that runs in java.  The command line would look like:

java -jar passworddragon.jar

So in LXDE, I right clicked the file, and tried entering the command line.  It look like it was trying (little circle with the arrow), then stopped.

So I right-clicked it again and it showed java as a option.  I would like to remove that option, but can figure out a way, and been looking around for a good guide on LXDE, anything I found didn't have a hint on editing the right-click.

I can run it fine in terminal, I do have to leave terminal ope or it stops operating.  Can any give me a hint on to where I can find a good guide on LXDE, or help on getting rid of the extra item I added to the right-click.  (Now I have three bad entries there as I tried a few options, and failed).

Thank you for your time. ;D

I don't know much about LXDE, but that menu is almost certainly in a .desktop file, so start by searching files called *.desktop for the text that appears in the menu entry.

Thank you I will, I'm at church in the office right now, when I get home, I'll take a look around.  Right now I have to go to confession as I'm using a M$ system, and will probably have to stand in the corner and say 3, "I shouldn't have used it."  Boy when I'm away do I miss PCLinuxOS! ;D ;D ;D

LXDE *.desktop files are found in /usr/share/applications. I have edited some of those files and have added some of my own. They do control the menu items displayed in the desktop environment, but I cannot confirm (and doubt) if they have anything to do with items found in the right-click menus. If a solution cannot be found in this forum, I suggest going to the LXDE website itself and post in the forum found there. A WIKI is also available, and you might find answers there.

Yep, found them in /home/USER/.local/share/applications!

Of course, replace USER with you login name
