Hi, We are integrating our applications to menu desktop for virtual machines possibly use of Grome or XFCE. I've looked at the document in http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html, appreciate if anyone can help to answer following questions: (1) How can we control displaying applications on menu based on group? We'd like to display different applications on menu for different groups, for example, group1 may see app11, app12, app13...on menu and group2 may see application21, app22, app23, ... on menu. The document has a Group headers in the format [groupname], can this be used for group access control? If so, could anyone point me or give an example of what is the key and value and what is the format? (2) How can we control displaying applications on menu based on individual user? Is it possible to set up menu entry to display certain applications on menu for certain users? UserA may be able to see app1, app2, userB may only be see app3? Which key may can be used for controlling the users access? OnlyShowIn and NotShowIn? Or TryExec? Or Action? Thank you. Kind regards. j ___ xdg mailing list xdg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg

If you want settings to apply to specific users or specific groups, make them see those files and make other users not see those files. For users, that's easy: just put the files necessary under that user's home directory. For applying to a group, either apply to all users in the group, or add another directory found by the XDG base specification containing those files and make it apply to that group. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago (AT) macieira.info - thiago (AT) kde.org Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center PGP/GPG: 0x6EF45358; fingerprint: E067 918B B660 DBD1 105C 966C 33F5 F005 6EF4 5358 signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. ___ xdg mailing list xdg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg

You may also want to have a look at the menu spec: http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/menu-spec-latest.html For example, to show a particular menu to a specific user, you could create a ~/.config/menus/application.menu file under their home directory.
