Where is configuration file of Xfce Main Menu ? - oldFox64 - 03-23-2016

On my menu there are entries that I can't remove, because they doesn't appear on 'Main Menu editor'. So I want to check the stored file that the Main Menu editor uses.

TY.

Hi oldFox64

The main menu editor (start > all > main-menu) has always been good by me, maybe what you can't find is listed in another category? If not, I found this link (https://wiki.xfce.org/howto/customize-menu) at xfce.org, though I can't vouch for it's accuracy. If that link is no good, try googling "xfce menu file" or something similar.

I noticed this issue as well. I removed Catfish since i never use it but i also noticed that the starter is still in the menu while it is not visible in the Menu editor tool.

What could help is the following:
  • open a terminal
  • type the following command:
    xfce4-panel --restart
  • If you get an error that this should be run as root, add sudo in front of the command

Last time I had to do this I followed the suggestion in the following topic.

The .desktop files don't exist (referring to the items that I want to remove). Sad

Just to make sure...

".files" (the dot) are hidden files, if you're using the file manager (thunar)... Go to "View" Show hidden files...

I found some more info on the xfce forums in this topic.
https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=7474
It leads to this page on their Wiki site.

Hope that helps.  Smile
