You mean application links on Panel? 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, 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)
Hello Nick, Thank you for your quick response.

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.
which is not a very smart move because depending on how custom menu items were made they can easily contain "kde" in name.

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.
Hi Nick, Just to add to my previous post.

The settings are in ./trinity/config/kickerrc,
I don't have "./trinity/config/kickerrc" but do have "./trinity/share/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.
I don't have "./config/menus/applications-kmenuedit.menu." but do have "./config/menus/applications-tdemenuedit.menu."
However both these files are exactly the same as the backup ones.
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.

Uh, if your backup have ./config/menus/applications-tdemenuedit.menu than its not an issue with 13-14 update, your problem is something else. Still, this three locations (kickerrc,applications-tdemenuedit and ~/.local/share/applications) are the places you need to look into for missing applinks.

No you cant. TDE now sources applications-tmenuedit.menu, not applications-kmenuedit.

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.
Thanks Nick,
Problem solved ! Just the icons had dissapeared, but I don't know why. It only happened when I switched on. I did do an update last night and continued used the machine afterwards and things were ok then.
Thank you for the info, without it I wouldn't have know where to look.
