Customizing the Xfce Menu

[charsan2]

Hello all,

I was following the how to in the magazine on how-to Xfce 4.6.1: Customize Your Xfce Menu and I followed the directions but when I got my menu item added it would not work. Here is my file

Code: [Select]

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Encoding=UTF-8
Type=Application
Name=XFCE Menu Editor
Comment=XFCE Menu Editor
Categories=Application;System;Utility;X-MandrivaLinux-System
Exec=gksu -l 'exo-desktop-edit-item --create-new /usr/share/applications'
Icon=gnome-settings-default-applications
Terminal=false
StartupNotify=false

When I run this line

Code: [Select]

gksu -l 'exo-desktop-edit-item --create-new /usr/share/applications' in terminal it returns this

Code: [Select]

gksu 'exo-desktop-edit-item --create-new /usr/share/applications'
sh: exo-desktop-edit-item: command not found
I am stumped

[charsan2]

I just found out there was a typo which was: gksu -l 'exo-desktop-edit-item --create-new /usr/share/applications' it should read gksu -l 'exo-desktop-item-edit --create-new /usr/share/applications'

charsan2,

Sorry about the typo. And sorry if it created you any undue distress.

I stand corrected.

Oh no, don't be sorry. I should have looked closer earlier, thank you for the articles

The html page is updated. It was correct in one location and incorrect in another. Thanks for reporting.

Thank you, charsan2! I have updated the PDF file and it has been uploaded to the magazine web site.
