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 <.

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.

I just love that personal menu Great work!

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

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.

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!

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.
