Help me edit my Mint menu
I installed Gnomebaker and now I have two entries in "All Applications". How can I edit this and get rid of one of the icons?
In Terminal:
Find the one that corresponds to Gnomebaker.. then
Et voila 
Code: Select all
cd /usr/share/applications
ls *.desktop
Code: Select all
gksu gedit thefilethatcorrespondstognomebaker.desktop &
I have the gnomebaker .desktop file.

Re: Help me edit my Mint menu
Help - I installed "gnome-app-install", which is the amazing "Add/Remove Applications" thingy from Ubuntu, the only thing I *really* miss in Mint - I just think the choice of either using synaptic or having to go to some website is lousy!. (Other than that - I love it!)
Anyway - I installed it through synaptic and then there was no menu item. So I did "alacarte" and added the menu item (under "Administration" - I really want it to be next, or, preferably, replace "synaptic" under "administration" right in the beginning of the mint-menu).
The application works - BUT it's displayed twice in my mintMenu! I don't know how to get rid of the second entry - in alacarte it's only showing one entry! I tried the things you listed above but couldn't figure out what I ought to change in the .desktop file.
Also - is there some way of moving items around in the mintMenu? I don't want it to be hidden in the back somewhere, I want it to be right in the front, to replace the entry for synaptic...
Thanks!
