Hello.
I am looking for help on how desktop-menu-tool from
desktop-file-utils can be used to generate a menu from a
description file ~/.config/menus/applications.menu.
Is it just the command line?
$ desktop-menu-tool --print applications.menu
Applications : <missing GenericName>
Office : <missing GenericName>
AbiWord Word Processor : <missing GenericName>
I was expecting more complete information from the
output of desktop-menu-tool, with the exec command
and the icon file, for instance. Then I would be
able to generate another output tailored to
specific window managers.
Is it possible to have more complete information
output by desktop-menu-tool?
I could not find any example on how to use it.
Maybe I am not calling it the correct way,
and I would like to hear from others about
this subject. Maybe with examples of how
to use desktop-menu-tool.
Regards.
Romildo
PS: Are there other tools to generate menus from
a desktop menu specification?
