Description James Westby 2008-04-22 10:40:08 UTC 
Hi,

I have been trying to deal with https://launchpad.net/bugs/118936.

In order to fix that fully we need to be able to revert deletions.
Alacarte implements deletions by adding a .desktop file in the user's
home directory with "Hidden=True" set, and so it disappears from the
editor.

However, it's currently not possible to revert this, as the .desktop
files from the user's home directory can't be iterated.

It would be great if libgnome-menu could provide such functionality,
or something else to make this possible.

If I have missed functionality that exists already to do this I apologise,
and I would also appreciate any other suggestions you have for
a way to implement all of this.

Thanks,

James

Maybe adding a new flag GMENU_TREE_FLAGS_INCLUDE_HIDDEN...

GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new enhancement request ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-menus/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
