You mean application links on Panel?
Yes ! the bar across the bottom of the screen.
The settings are
in ./trinity/config/kickerrc, but if you mean your custom app
links disappeared during 13->14 update, this is probably due
to update script messing with
./config/menus/applications-kmenuedit.menu.Update script
renames it to applications-tmenuedit.menu and runs
"kde"->"tde" replace on its context,
Does that mean that I can rename it back or am I stuck with
what ever "kde"->"tde" did.
No you cant. TDE now sources applications-tmenuedit.menu, not
applications-kmenuedit.
which is
not a very smart move because depending on how
custom menu items were made they can easily contain "kde" in
name. Look in ~/.local/share/applications and if there is
something with "kde" in its name rename it to "tde" (or
manually edit applications-tmenuedit.menu, but you cant run
replace all "tde"->"kde" because tde standard menuitems where
actually renamed)
Ah right. I have everything backed up, so if I just restore
~/.local/share/applications
I should get things back to how I had them before the update.
No. The update doesn't touch ~/.local/share/applications, and
that is a problem. The filenames of .desktop files remain with
"kde" but in applications-tmenuedit.menu they are referred with
"tde". As i said you have to either edit
applications-tmenuedit.menu or rename files in
~/.local/share/applications.
Found It ! " ~/.local/share/applications" is empty ! Nothing in
there. The backup has a number of icons.
I'll come back after a reboot.
