<title>Introduction</title>

<para>&kmenuedit; allows editing the menu of &kde; application launchers: &kickoff;, classic &kmenu; or Lancelot Launcher.</para>

<para>&kmenuedit; can be started either by &RMB; clicking the application launcher
button on the panel and choosing <guimenuitem>Edit
Applications...</guimenuitem>, or
by typing <userinput>kmenuedit</userinput> in the &krunner; line.</para>

<para>&kmenuedit; allows you to:</para>

<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>View and edit the menu used by the current application launcher (&kickoff;, classic menu or Lancelot Launcher)</para></listitem>
<listitem><para><guimenuitem>Cut</guimenuitem>, <guimenuitem>Copy</guimenuitem>
and <guimenuitem>Paste</guimenuitem> submenus and items</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Create and delete submenus and items</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Change the order of submenus and items</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Hide items and add new submenus and items</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>

<para>By default all applications installed on the computer appear in the application launchers menu of all users.
Applications may appear more than once in several different menus. 
Empty submenu categories defined in the desktop menu specification will show up as well, 
but are not visible in application launchers unless you install applications belonging to these categories.
</para>

<para>The tree view has three different entry types:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>Submenu: Only <guilabel>Name</guilabel>, <guilabel>Comment</guilabel> and 
<guilabel>Description</guilabel> fields and the button to select an icon 
are enabled, the <guilabel>Advanced</guilabel> tab is disabled. 
Any submenu can hold additional submenus and/or items.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Items: Use this entry to enter the data for the application you want to add. 
For detailed information see <link linkend="using-kmenuedit">Using &kmenuedit;</link>.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Separator: A visual entry to structure the menu. It cannot be modified 
and all editing actions are disabled.
</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>

<para>&kmenuedit; has two tree view modes - normal and with hidden entries. To see the latter check the option 
<guilabel>Show hidden entries</guilabel> in the configuration dialog on the <guilabel>General options</guilabel> page.
</para>
<para>Many additional entries appear in hidden view mode in the tree. Several hidden entries seem to be just duplicates 
but have different command options. Usually you should never change these hidden entries or you risk to break some 
functionality of the system.
</para>
<para>In hidden mode you will have a special submenu <guilabel>.hidden [Hidden]</guilabel> as top level 
item in the tree. This special submenu is not editable. In this submenu all deleted items will be shown at the next 
start of &kmenuedit;.</para>
<para>It is not possible to delete entries using the &GUI; in this special submenu. They will reappear at the 
next start of &kmenuedit;.
</para>

<title>Use Cases</title>

<sect2 id="use-cases-adapt">
<title>Adapt the Menu for a User</title> 

<sect3 id="use-cases-adapt-order">
<title>Reorder Items</title> 

<para>This should be done in hidden view mode where only the submenus and items visible in the application 
launcher menu are displayed.
</para>
<para>By default the menu is sorted alphabetically using the English names or descriptions. Using another language 
than English some submenus and items therefore will appear in an unsorted order.
</para>
<para>Use the options in <menuchoice><guimenu>Edit</guimenu><guimenuitem>Sort</guimenuitem></menuchoice>
to sort either by name or description. If you use the classic application launcher you have to select the 
corresponding <guilabel>Format</guilabel> option in the settings dialog. In the &kickoff; launcher check 
<guilabel>Show applications by name</guilabel> if you sort them by name here.
</para>
<para>Grouping your frequently used submenus or items together &eg; at the top of the menu makes selecting them easier. 
To change the order of particular items or submenus in the tree use the <guibutton>Move Up</guibutton> or 
<guibutton>Move Down</guibutton> button in the toolbar or these actions in the menu. 
</para>
<para>All application launchers will use the order of submenus defined in &kmenuedit;.
</para>
</sect3>

<sect3 id="use-cases-adapt-hide">
<title>Remove Items from the Menu View</title> 

<para>Having shown all applications installed on a computer may be confusing for some users so you may 
want to hide some less frequently used items or submenus. There are two different ways to do that:
</para>

<para>Switch to normal view mode without hidden entries. If you delete items they are moved to the 
<guilabel>.hidden [Hidden]</guilabel> submenu. You can move them back into the tree to have them in the menu again.
</para>
<para>If you delete a submenu it will be really deleted with all its submenus and items. 
To recreate them you can use <menuchoice><guimenu>Edit</guimenu><guimenuitem>Restore to System 
Menu</guimenuitem></menuchoice>, but this will remove all your custom submenus and items
and the corresponding <filename class="extension">.desktop</filename> files are deleted too. This action cannot be reverted.
</para>

<para>The preferred way to remove submenus and items in the menu of an application launcher is to check <guilabel>Hidden 
entry</guilabel> on the <guilabel>General</guilabel> tab and switch to the hidden view mode. 
In this mode it is easy to revert changes without destroying the menu structure.
The only drawback is that you have to hide all entries in a submenu manually to 
hide the whole submenu from the view.
</para>
</sect3>

</sect2>

<sect2 id="use-cases-additems">
<title>Adding Custom Items</title> 

<para>To add custom items (submenu, item or separator) use the actions in the menu or toolbar.
Items need a Name and a Command, without a command entry an item will not be saved and your addition gets lost.
</para>
<para>If you add an entry it is inserted as sub entry at the actual highlighted position in the tree.
Move an entry by dragging it with the mouse or using the <guibutton>Move Down</guibutton> button 
to the bottom of the tree to make it a top level entry.
</para>

</sect2>

<sect2 id="use-cases-transfer">
<title>Transfer application launcher settings</title> 

<para>There is no way to transfer menu settings using the &GUI;, you have to do that manually 
and copy the following files to the target user:</para>
<para>&kmenuedit; stores the menu hierarchy in 
<filename>$<envar>HOME</envar>/.config/menus/applications-kmenuedit.menu</filename>
and <filename class="directory">$<envar>HOME</envar>/.local/share/desktop-directories</filename> 
contains desktop files for submenus you created.
In <filename class="directory">$<envar>HOME</envar>/.local/share/applications/</filename> you 
find the desktop files for the custom items you created.
</para>
<para>The shortcuts for each application are stored in <filename>~/.kde/share/config/kglobalshortcutsrc</filename>, 
but export/import does not work because the UUIDs of the shortcuts do not match up between systems, even though the 
<filename class="extension">.desktop</filename> files are the same. You have to assign all shortcuts manually again.
</para>

<title>Adding a Menu Entry</title>

  <para>In this example, we will add &firefox; to the <guisubmenu>Internet</guisubmenu> submenu.</para>
  <para>To start off, we need to open &kmenuedit;, so &RMB; on the application
launcher menu, click <guimenuitem>Edit Applications...</guimenuitem> to start
&kmenuedit;. After &kmenuedit; has started, select <guisubmenu>Internet</guisubmenu> as shown in picture below.
<screenshot>
<screeninfo>Select <guisubmenu>Internet</guisubmenu></screeninfo>
<mediaobject>

<imagedata fileref="selectinternet.png" format="PNG" />
</imageobject>
<textobject>
<phrase>Select <guisubmenu>Internet</guisubmenu></phrase>
</textobject>
</mediaobject>
</screenshot></para>
  <para>
    Once you have selected <guisubmenu>Internet</guisubmenu>, click on <menuchoice><guimenu>File</guimenu><guimenuitem>New Item...</guimenuitem></menuchoice>, opening the <guilabel>New Item</guilabel> dialog, as shown below. Type the name of the program you want to add, in this case, type <userinput>firefox</userinput>.
<screenshot>
<screeninfo><guilabel>New Item</guilabel> dialog</screeninfo>

</imageobject>
<textobject>
<phrase>The <guilabel>New Item</guilabel> dialog.</phrase>
</textobject>
</mediaobject>
</screenshot>
</para>
<para>
Press return, and you should see something like the picture below in the main window.
<screenshot>
<screeninfo>New Item</screeninfo>
<mediaobject>
<imageobject>
<imagedata fileref="new.png" format="PNG" />
</imageobject>
<textobject>
<phrase>The new item created.</phrase>
</textobject>
</mediaobject>
</screenshot></para>

<para>
Now lets fill in the <guilabel>Description:</guilabel>, in this case type <userinput>Web Browser</userinput>. 
<note><para>The appearance how description and name will be displayed depends on the settings in the application 
launcher &eg; <quote>Web Browser (Firefox)</quote> or <quote>Firefox (Web Browser)</quote>.</para></note> 
We will need to fill in the executable name in the <guilabel>Command:</guilabel> field, in this instance we will type <userinput><command>firefox</command></userinput>.</para>
<para>The command has to be in your <envar>PATH</envar> variable or you have to specify the full path to the executable.
If you do not know the executable name of an application use the <userinput><command>locate</command></userinput>
command to search for the desktop file and enter the string from the Exec line as command here.
</para>
<note><para>Following the command, you can have several place holders which will be replaced with actual values when the program is run:
<simplelist>
<member>%f - a single file name</member>
<member>%F - a list of files; use for applications that can open several local files at once</member>
<member>%u - a single &URL;</member>
<member>%U - a list of &URL;s</member>
<member>%d - the folder of a file to open</member>
<member>%D - a list of folders</member>
<member>%i - the icon</member>
<member>%m - the mini icon</member>
<member>%c - the caption</member>
</simplelist></para>
<informalexample><para>For example: if you want to firefox to start your web browsing at www.kde.org - instead of <command>firefox</command> you would type <command>firefox %u www.kde.org</command>.</para></informalexample></note>
<para>Most applications accept additional options &eg; the name of a defined profile like &konqueror; or &konsole;.
To see all options for an application launch <userinput><command><replaceable>applicationname</replaceable></command> <option>--help</option></userinput> in &konsole;.</para>
<para>We would like to have a more creative icon, so we will click the generic icon sitting beside <guilabel>Name:</guilabel> (note, the default icon may be blank, in which case click in the area to the right of the name entry box.) It will bring the <guilabel>Select Icon</guilabel> dialog which will let us choose the new icon, as shown below.
<screenshot>
<screeninfo><guilabel>Select Icon</guilabel> dialog</screeninfo>

</imageobject>
<textobject>
<phrase>The <guilabel>Select Icon</guilabel> dialog.</phrase>
</textobject>
</mediaobject>
</screenshot></para>

  <para>We choose the firefox icon from the list, and press &Enter;. Your finished screen should probably look something like the screenshot below.

<screeninfo>Done screenshot</screeninfo>

<imagedata fileref="done.png" format="PNG" />
</imageobject>
<textobject>
<phrase>This is what the completed menu item should looks like.</phrase>
</textobject>
</mediaobject>
</screenshot></para>

<para>The place of the new menu item can now be changed using <guibutton>Move Up</guibutton> and <guibutton>Move Down</guibutton> buttons on the &kmenuedit; toolbar or by dragging with the mouse.</para>
 <para>The submenu items can be sorted using <guibutton>Sort</guibutton> button on the &kmenuedit; toolbar or <menuchoice><guimenu>Edit</guimenu><guisubmenu>Sort</guisubmenu></menuchoice> submenu items.</para>

<para>Click <menuchoice><guimenu>File</guimenu><guimenuitem>Save</guimenuitem></menuchoice>, wait for the <guilabel>Updating System Configuration</guilabel> dialog to get finished, you should find &firefox; in the application launcher <guisubmenu>Internet</guisubmenu> submenu.</para>
