I settled on: win + h ~/ win + r / win + w /srv/http (w for web) Why no "copy to.." & "move to.." context menu entries? Also, a really slick addition to eterm (or whatever the standard xterm for e17 will be) would be an "Open File Manager here" context menu entry like konsole has with its "Open Browser here" context entry. -- David C.

EFM shows the "Name=" from the "*.desktop" file and also shows the appropriate icon. you can simply drag'n'drop files from $HOME/.local/share/applications/ to any text editor (like SciTE). also EFM allow you to quickly rename each file according to your needs. not all apps are created like "_new_app-1.desktop" - the ICCCM Properties are in if you're creating a "*.desktop" file of a running application (Alt+Right mouse click by default -> Create/Edit Icon in menu). the current schema is quite easy and convenient - just use EFM :) good luck. sda pgpVMlHIbvoDO.pgp Description: PGP signature -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

[E-devel] e17 - howto edit apps that are already installed & why can't I edit the .desktop name?
Guys, I have added some apps in e17, but now I have a couple of questions: (1) Where do I go to edit the apps I've added?; (2) They are added to the menus, but I have installed more applications that I need to have added to the menu. How do tell e17 to regenerate the menus like I can in e16?; and (3) Why can't I edit the name of the .desktop file created when I add apps? They all get created as: _new_app-1.desktop _new_app-2.desktop ... which doesn't tell me a whole lot about what they are 6 months from now? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
