#2

You should be able to edit them in manually.
But make sure you have re-booted since the application was installed.

#3

Computers been on and off several times

shouldn’t have to you know

#4

I don’t use xfce, so I can’t say but kde is right click to get menu-editor
Gnome is different
I expect xfce will be equally so.

shouldn’t have to you know
Hey, I’m just trying to help

#5

me too

right click refers to a default menu file in xfce
but nothing leading to a menu editor or file location
remember seeing the file ages ago, looked like duck soup
but i’ll try

where’s that darn menu file i guess

thx
patrick

There will be someone with xfce that can answer that for you.
In the mean time you can just launch them from a terminal

Hi
The files should be down in /usr/share/xfce4 on openSUSE, this should
help; http://wiki.xfce.org/howto/customize-menu

looks like a menu layout only
probably the individual program that doesn’t fit in

thanks for the response

This is normal for these 2 apps. imagemagick ist a collection of CLI tools and evince doesn’t normally appear in menus :

cat /usr/share/applications/evince.desktop

I’ve had the full imagemagick program on other computers, wanted to learn
how to use it.

And evince will open if configured for that file type then, interesting :wink: !

thx for your response,
