Alacarte for Gnome Broken. . . .

http://forums.fedoraforum.org – We need a sensible program that will allow us to install software and icons for programs other than what we find in the repositories. Alacarte doesn't seem to work anymore. I've been trying install Autopanopro and nowhere is the Icon to be found along with the executeable file for initializing the program. I've got the program folder stored in /urr/share but when it comes to using Alacarte nothing happens. The Icon is no where to be seen in the graphics directory where I save the program icon and script for execution. This needs attention and fixing. It doesn't work for me. Gnome 3.4 F (HowTos)

Hi,

I was using alacarte to add shortcuts to gnome and guess what? alacarte crashed, and the entry that I was working on is malfunctioning.

Try alacarte-git from aur. Maybe it is possible to solve your problem with the newer version.You can have both versions installed at the same time.I never used the old version and with my gnome-shell i have no icon problems.alacarte-git

I've only installed two programs from AUR that would have icons, but neither of them use the icons that come with them. I've checked and the icons are installed in /usr/share/icons and the Icon tag is specified in /usr/share/applications/<program-name>.desktop. I'm using GNOME 3, and all I get is the default executable icon with these programs I have installed from the AUR.

When I go to the Main Menu icon, right click and choose Edit Menus, nothing happens. Same thing when I go to System - > Preferences -> Main Menu.

I installed alacarte and used that to try and add an application launcher for Sublime Text, but I got an error half way through. Now I've got a launcher in my menu that links to a non existent file, without an icon. It doesn't show up in alacarte, and I searched in /usr/share/applications and it doesn't show up there. I cannot find any reference to it on my computer, yet still it's there.

Gnome-Shell: Menus & Desktop 3 years 27 weeks ago

under GNOME 2.26.3 I was able to right-click on any menu item and create a desktop icon for it. That functionality seems to have been lost. Creating a Launcher for an item that already exists in the menu takes too long...any solutions?

P.S. not including Alacarte in the distro wasn't a good idea. Alacarte should now allow me to copy icons to the desktop.

Alacarte is crashing with this terminal output:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/alacarte", line 37, in <module> main() File "/usr/bin/alacarte", line 33, in main app = MainWindow(datadir, version) File "/usr/share/alacarte/Alacarte/MainWindow.py", line 43, in __init__ self.editor = MenuEditor() File "/usr/share/alacarte/Alacarte/MenuEditor.py", line 31

I was attempting to change some internet bookmark applications icons (Google Chrome). Alacarte crashed and when I opened it the "Internet" section was blank.

When I try to add anything to the menu in 12.04 I get this error.
