Apps :: How to add Programs to the DSL menu?



well I can always just run those from terminal. its getting late ive been at this for a few hours and cant find any info on it. I may just switch back to 3.3 mydsl just put the icon on desktop for me. when I downloaded them initially they were in the menu under my dsl but they dissapeared after I restarted
Ah - OK, /tmp/mydsl.menu is the folder I couldn't remember - I thought there would already be a file in there, but apparently not.

I cannot remember the format of the menu item file you need - since you were looking to make a menu item for gimp, you could download gimp-1.2.uci from mydsl testing, load it, and then you will have a menu item to copy and modify for gaim (it's self-evident what to modify once you have an example).

ok I downloaded opera from the test area. the file wa in the mydls.menu vewing the file it has this:
[exec] (Opera9.25) {/opt/opera925/bin/opera}

I still have no clue how to add that to the menu
I'm guessing you might have a traditional harddrive install?  I can't see any reason why a typical mydsl extension doesn't automatically create a menu item (it would be in the mydsl submenu) unless there's something messed up in your system.  You shouldn't need to do anything manual with the menu files in /tmp

What desktop are you using? jwm? fluxbox?  Every desktop has its own way of using (or not using) menus.
