Luckily there is a quick and convenient way to do it on the command line.
To see the current panel launchers setting, open a terminal and enter:
- Code: Select all
gsettings get org.cinnamon panel-launchers
This will output something like: ['firefox.desktop', 'gnome-terminal.desktop', 'nemo.desktop']
To set your custom panel launchers, open a terminal and enter something like (note the double quotes):
- Code: Select all
gsettings set org.cinnamon panel-launchers "['nemo.desktop', 'firefox.desktop', 'thunderbird.desktop', 'sonata.desktop', 'gedit.desktop', 'libreoffice-writer.desktop', 'libreoffice-calc.desktop', 'gcalctool.desktop', 'gnucash.desktop', 'gnome-terminal.desktop', 'synaptic.desktop']"
You can use the .desktop files in /usr/share/applications or create your own in ~/.cinnamon/panel-launchers.
To restore your panel launchers from a previous installation:
1. Run the gsettings get command in the previous installation and save the result.
2. Copy ~/.cinnamon/panel/launchers from a previous installation to the new one.
3. Run the gsettings set command in the new installation using the result saved in step 1.
