some installed programs do not appear on the xfce menu
for example imagemagick and evince
maybe one or two others have to check
wonder what gives
thx

You should be able to edit them in manually.
But make sure you have re-booted since the application was installed.
Computers been on and off several times
where can i add these ?
shouldn’t have to you know

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
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; howto:customize-menu [Xfce Wiki]

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

DocPath=evince
Name=Evince
GenericName=Document Viewer
Comment=View multi-page documents
TryExec=evince
Exec=evince %U

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 
!
thx for your response,
