Hi,
While trying to port e16menuedit to gtk2 I notices that it isn't working with at least CVS version of E. I can change menus and save in e16menuedit, but they doesn't change in Enlighenment menu. I tried also to remove ./enlightenment/cache/* and restart E, but nothing changes.
$ eesh help all ... reload_menus : Reload menus.cfg without restarting (Asmodean_) ...
so maybe fork and exec "eesh -e 'reload_menus'"? I'm guessing on both of these replies :)
It didn't work. Now I copied menus.cfg from /usr/share/enlightenment to ~/.enlightenment and edited it with an editor and so I can change entries. But why didn't e16menuedit work?
Now I found out e16menuedit edit file.menu and not menus.cfg. If I make a link to menus.cfg e16menuedit segfaults. Is e16menuedit not useable for menus.cfg and the prefered way is currently to use an editor for changing menus?
Sorry for the bad advice.
I do recall that up until 0.16.7-preX using e16menuedit would immediately update your menus w/o havnig to restart E. It's not doing that anymore, atleast not on the pre2 I installed from pr0tage. I guess we'll have to wait for some input from raster/kwo/mandrake as they might know how to fix it or why it's not working correctly anymore.
That stopped working at some point, and I distinctly remember notifying Kim about it, and he fixed it right there and then within a few minutes. I'd be surprised if it stopped working again -- but I haven't updated e in a couple of weeks so I'd have to check on that later.
It was broken quite a while up to and including 0.16.7-pre1 (I hardly ever use the menus so I didn't notice). It was fixed some time before 0.16.7-pre2, and has to my knowledge worked since (just checked, also using e16menuedit). If changed, the menu files should be automatically reloaded after at most 5 seconds. I raised this value from 2 seconds because I thought it was a bit extravagant to check a lot of files that often.
So, I believe things work as they should :)
