Greetings all;
Still on wheezy.
Sometime in the last 3-4 days, maybe not this mornings update, I needed
to get some stuff out of my camera today, which I normally do with
digicam.
Chaseing the rodent up the menu list popup, I stop at graphics, expecting
a lengthy popup. Wait, but nothing.
Didn't that use to be kbuildcycoca or similar to restore that stuffs?
On further poking at this yellowjackets nest with kmenuedit, I find its
all there, but buried an extra level deep, and does not show that extra
level depth with a line item in the menu itself. Call up the kmenuedit
handbook and look up copy/paste intending to move it all back to where
it belongs, but theres no reaction to highlighting the extra level and
pressing control+c, then moving back and highlighting the top level menu
where it belongs and pressing control+V. No user feedback whatsoever.
So I decide to quit that as its obviously broken. BUT! When I quit, it
updates everything. So I go back to the graphics line, and voila! Its
all back where it belongs.
I remember it used to do that, but while you were adjusting stuff so you
could see the results in a few seconds. When did it start waiting until
you quit? Bad dog, no biscuit.

You shouldn't have to quit but I have always had to save for it to show the
updates.

kbuildsycoca --noincremental
Then log out/log in. Though I'm not sure how much of the xdg_menu it touches,
but it should sort out any kmenuedit issues with locally added entries.

now, thats a llllloooooonnngg history file. ;-)

I have a dcop script that restores my konsole session and restores the
connections to the remote hosts when I launch it. I have 5 local tabs open and
5 remote. History file does get quite lengthy, and it has always been
frustrating that all local history from the 5 local tabs all ends up one
histfile (and then only if you exit gracefully)
Above that, I keep 40K of entries in my histfile config in ~/.bashrc, e.g.
export HISTFILESIZE=40000
export HISTSIZE=40000
export HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth:erasedups
export HISTIGNORE=' *:&'
I cheat too, I have a short function aliased to 'hist' in my .bashrc as well,
showhist() {
[ -z "$1" ] && { printf "usage: hist <search
term>\n"; return 1; }
history | grep "$1"
return 0
}
That allows a simple 'hist term' at the command line to find what I'm
looking for with minimal typing :)
I looked further and kbuildsycoca should sort out the xdg_menu entries, it
also has a '--menutest' option as well that preforms the abbreviated check of
the menu setup.
