mintMenu 1.3 released!

[clem]

all over his desk

uh uh uuuh you may say I'm a dreamer

ok, I found the similarities between all the items which do not launch: the exec command for them contains arguments. Example: firefox %u. I'm going to look at the script but I bet it tries to literally launch "firefox %u" instead of discarding or evaluating the variable. It should be easy enough to fix.

Ok the problem is fixed. I'll be releasing version 1.2 very soon.

mintmenu 1.2 released. All items should now launch correctly. Please upgrade to the latest version (you might have to "sudo killall python" to refresh your mintmenu applet).

Wow, this is totally exeter, nice work!

Could be enhanced a tad thou...

First, I dont like how when I hide recent, I see a big icon moving all the other things over.

thats all! lol

Hi,

It wouldn't let me into preferences. It seems great though.

On edit:

It didn't do shutdown, it just sort of locked up when I clicked quit.

[Frijolie]

so I take it this is written in Python?

Historyb said

It is the same for me.
Another thing, the 3 open office icons don't launch (in All applications or Office).
What about translation of the topics? How can we do?
And a last thing I detected: when you click on search, the result comes UNDER the Bianca Menu and do not come over when you click on it. At second in bianca Menu it is going to favourite and stay there

But, hey... really good job, Clem

[AlsaPhil]

I hope this possibility to have the mintMenu on the top of the screen will stay in Bianca. When all these (very) little bugs are fixed, it will be absolutely fantastic

[npap]

Imagine all the Biancas

Wow! Even the Sheik of Uranya doesn't have so many in his harem. I would suggest he joins the Mint community.

But seriously, after I got rid of most of them, removing one at a time from right to left, as you suggested, my bottom panel is now clean. But damn it, I can't minimize anything to the panel any longer. When I click on the minimize sign of a window, poof! it disappears; perhaps to another dimension! The fourth dimension?
EDIT
I found a way to get windows to minimize from the Ubuntu forums: Add to panel Windows List

[clem]

ok, so bugs to fix:

- openoffice items do not launch...
- search feature doesn't close the menu. Filter feature is not intuitive.
- preferences don't work.

historyb: the quit funtion works for me. Can somebody else see if it works?
tiptup300: check gconf-editor and look at /apps/mintMenu.. double click on plugins_list.. from there you can remove "recent".

Clem

[AlsaPhil]

Quit function works for me too. No problem

[historyb]

Well just turned on the Computer and quit works now.

[npap]

No problem with Quit here either, that is if you mean the Quit function in mintmenu.

[Tiptup300]

Photoshop wont execute on it, quit is being cut off but it works. Should have a little eye candy on the side, I would make it but photoshop wont open.



EDIT:

I only photoshoped it but I added the things I liked



Differences:

- Moved the search bar and turned it into an execution bar, so that I can use it as a simple terminal

- Removed Favorites

- Resized Applications

- Added sidebar

Yep, thats all I did

[clem]

Version 1.3 released. All applications should now launch correctly. "Recent" plugin is not there by default anymore.

Hello Clem,
The new mintmenu looks better but there are still some problems in opening up applications.

MintConfig 1.4 looks much better now. Size on my 17" : 18.5cm high x 31cm wide. The hight can be increased but can not be decreased.

Hi npap,

one solution is Synaptic

[npap]

Hello Phil,
Thanks, I will try installing the mintMenu with Synaptic
