Description Calum Benson 2002-03-22 19:58:40 UTC
If you select "Edit Menus" on panel right-click menu, can you only edit the
"Applications" menu?  Or will it eventually edit the menus on the menu
applet?

If it's the former, suggest the menu item should be renamed "Edit
Applications Menu".  Not entirely sure it belongs here anyway, should it
maybe be on the Actions menu, or the Applications menu itself?  (In the
latter case, it probably wouldn't need renamed at all).
Comment 1 John Fleck 2002-03-23 04:43:12 UTC
I'm a little lost as to how you edit the menus at all with this. I get
a Nautilus window with listing of all the menu categories, and if I
click I get the contents of that category, but I can't do anything
obvious with them that seems like editing a menu (either adding,
deleting or changing items). What's supposed to be going on here?
Comment 2 John Fleck 2002-03-23 04:45:17 UTC
Ah. I see Calum has filed #75979 in response to the confusion I noted
above.
Comment 3 Luis Villa 2002-03-26 20:28:59 UTC
I'm still not sure that anyone other than _v_ has any idea how menu
editing is supposed to work.
Comment 4 Luis Villa 2002-04-09 20:04:24 UTC
updating the dependency.
Comment 5 Mark McLoughlin 2002-04-10 12:25:04 UTC
And actually talking to _v_ at Guadec I don't think this is ever going
to be a 'Menu editor'. I can't remember exactly what he said but I
think we agreed to remove this menuitem ...
Comment 6 Calum Benson 2002-04-10 12:28:49 UTC
I wasn't party to that conversation, but we were talking about it here
this morning and the docs guys at least want it moved to the Actions
menu (or somewhere else more sensible).
Comment 7 Luis Villa 2002-04-13 02:37:29 UTC
It can't be /completely/ removed- it does have to go somewhere. But
yeah, Actions sounds like a fine place for it to my mind.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 75597 ***
Comment 9 Heath Harrelson 2002-04-13 03:39:52 UTC
Oops, wrong box.  Sorry about that.
Comment 10 Mark McLoughlin 2002-04-18 09:11:00 UTC
Okay, I've just removed this option entirely. The feature obviously
doesn't exist yet, so lets not pretend it does. When its implemented
we can think of the correct place to put the menuitem.
Comment 11 John Fleck 2002-05-30 18:11:54 UTC
I'd like to reopen this while I check to make sure the docs match. I'll take assignment.
Comment 12 John Fleck 2002-05-31 03:11:06 UTC
It looks like we're OK here. Closing. Thanks for your patience all.
