How can I configure the applications menu in KDE (Menu -> Computer section)?
I want to add some items such as: mount and system monitor.
Updated:
What I do.
Open file .config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc
I have this section:
[Containments][24][Applets][61][Configuration][General]
favoritesPortedToKAstats=true
icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/ubuntu-logo.png
menuItems=bookmark:t,application:t,computer:t,leave:t,oftenUsed:f,used:f
showAppsByName=true
useExtraRunners=false
And I replace with this on killed plasmashell with
[Containments][24][Applets][61][Configuration][General]
favoritesPortedToKAstats=true
icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/ubuntu-logo.png
menuItems=bookmark:t,application:t,computer:t,leave:t,oftenUsed:f,used:f
systemApplications=systemsettings.desktop,org.kde.kinfocenter.desktop,org.kde.discover.desktop,org.kde.muon,skype_skypeforlinux,org.kde.konsole
showAppsByName=true
useExtraRunners=false
I added some apps in the end of systemApplications, see code above:
org.kde.muon,skype_skypeforlinux,org.kde.konsole this names I got from menu items when click to edit them, copy and paste here.
And restart plasmashell. And nothing changes.
I go to this file, and see that 1 code rewoke, and line
systemApplications=systemsettings.desktop,org.kde.kinfocenter.desktop,org.kde.discover.desktop,org.kde.muon,skype_skypeforlinux,org.kde.konsole
Disapiared tottaly.
Mabe its cached somewhere or my added apps It did not like...
Plasma 5 application menu (Kickoff)
Plasma 5 Kickoff menu is dynamic menu. It is composed from the application desktop files.
The KDE has Menu Editor:
More from the KDE Menu Editor Handbook. Online: https://docs.kde.org/trunk5/en/kde-workspace/kmenuedit/index.html
Plasma 5.14 Kickoff Computer tab
The Computer tab applications are not editable with the KDE Menu Editor. The applications are read from the plasma configuration file. Older plasma have the 'kickoffrc' file.
As the kickoffrc was deprecated the settings were transfered to the plasma configuration file: $HOME/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc.
The Computer tab applications are under the 'systemApplications'.
The user can edit the text file plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc by
0) Backup the plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc
1) Stop the plasmashell by executing the command (krunner): 'kquitapp5 plasmashell'
2) Edit the plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc line: 'systemApplications='
3) Save the plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc
4) Restart the plasmashell with the command (krunner): 'plasmashell'
KDE System Monitor (org.kde.systemmonitor.desktop) added to the 'systemApplications'
Testing with the Ubuntu 18.10 (Cosmic Cuttlefish) - Plasma 5.13
Testing done with the clean plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc.
There is no 'systemApplications=' line.
Using copy and paste from https://userbase.kde.org/KDE_System_Administration/PlasmaDesktopScripting#org.kde.plasma.kickoff
Adding few more items to the systemApplications...
...seems to work BUT the 'org.kde.systemmonitor.desktop' doesn't work with the CC / Plasma 5.13 at here. The 'org.kde.systemmonitor.desktop' will disappear from the systemApplications. The 'org.kde.ksysguard.desktop' seems to work.
You can use the Legacy Lickoff menu.
Download it from "Download New Plasma Widgets" menu.
