Unless others complain, I wouldn't put too much effort in on this change. You might just want to consider a warning about using > and <.

Re: [Updated] OS2008 Personal Menu
 
frasej unearthed an important issue. Characters like "<", ">", and "&" are going to cause problems. I am working on escaping the text so this is not a problem, but g_markup_escape_text is not working as I would expect it.

Edit: I forgot to mention - it is not a problem with GKeyFile as I first suspected, but with PangoMarkup, which I use to set the fonts for the menu.

Re: [Updated] OS2008 Personal Menu
 
On a semi Personal Menu related note, does anyone have the default setting for the ~/.osso/hildon-dekstop/desktop.conf file lying around? It would be greatly appreciated. I was extremely stupid and didn't make a backup. *faceplam*

*edit* Nevermind - found it.

Am in the process of setting up Personal Menu and have entered 13 applications and 3 headings. I now
find that I cannot scroll down to the bottom of the 'Arranged Items' list without the programme crashing
- at about the 14th item it closes and the following message appears
'Internal error. Application 'Control panel' closed.'

wamjib: Are you using any special characters in your headeings? Like <, >, or &? There is a problem with these that I am looking to fix. If you edit the ~/.personal_menu.rc file and remove them everything should be fine.

If not, could you send me your .personal_menu.rc file so I can take a look?

Thanks

Re: [Updated] OS2008 Personal Menu
 
fiferboy: no, am not using any odd characters in my headings and by way of a little update - since posting my first message I attempted to add a further application but on clicking the 'OK' button everything froze.
Now, to show my exceedingly green newbie status: have emelFM2 installed but cannot locate the file requested - could you please provide me with the full path. Once found, I can copy it to my SD card but to forward to you, do I send it privately by way of an attachment to an email or post it to this site?
Your quidance will be appreciated.

Re: [Updated] OS2008 Personal Menu
 
wamjib: the file is located in /home/user/ and is named .personal_menu.rc

This is a hidden configuration file, so you will have to click the crooked little "H" on the top toolbar of emelFM2 to see it.

Please send it as a PM to me by clicking my name and selecting "Send private message" and I will see what I can do to identify and fix your problem.

I've just re-flashed and got my personal menu back. In the interim, it has been upgraded and much improved! I just want to add my thanks for this wonderful app. It definitely increases the functionality of my IT! Bravo!:D

Is anyone else experiencing difficulties with the Personal Menu control panel? When I try to open it, it closes the App Manager and pops up an "Internal Error: Application Manager Closed" message.
