Very nice applet but i have a problem with my locale (UTF-8, Greek Locale). In App List everything works OK (Home, Computer, Run, Control Center, etc.) but NOT Documents, Pictures, Videos, Music. On execution i get an error message foe --> Can't find "/home/user/Documents" and that's cause my " Documents " folder is with greek name " ??????? " If i change in boxes.js foe --> "Util.spawnCommandLine('nautilus Documents')" to --> "Util.spawnCommandLine('nautilus ???????')" i get an error message --> Can't find /home/user/Î?γγÏαÏ?α" Hope for a workaround :) Cheers.
Sorry I forgot to add language support.
Try to use submenus for categories so that it looks more like Windows 7 (It is weird when it suddenly got expanded.
I've made one like that just don't have all the bugs ironed out yet. I'm planning on making the text-items hide in this one.
Very interesting! Few padding and spacing issues but it has potential.
Nice work. Could you write a version with an fixed placement of the applet-window. (something like 40px above the bottom of the screen and 0-3px on the left ?) . Actually my pc looks like this : http://media.cdn.ubuntu-de.org/forum/attachments/21/28/4591667-screenshotk.png . language support would also be nice, but i don´t find it really necessary ;) .
nice :) what for gtk theme are you using? check out the cinnamon theme i made http://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com/themes/view/108 . as far as the 0px on theme left i haven't figured that out yet
This is a really nice applet and a very nice menu panel. Keep up the good work! I believe you are using the Nighlife-Graphite theme. I use it too! Some things I would change... 1) add a 'Cinnamon Settings' on right side, say above 'Package Manager.' 2) make the places section actually 'read' what is in the home folder. For example, I have the normal folders plus a 'PDF' folder and a 'Torrents' folder but they don't show up on the menu. Is this something I can just add in a config file? If it did this automagically that would be great! Thanks.
Sorry, one more thing... 3) make it so the menu resets after it is closed so the next time it opens it shows the main panel with favorites.
I agree with twodogs, I'd like it to reset to the default state after closing
I really like this - works great on my system - 5 stars from me !
Hmm - seems to be reliant on Nautilus... Solution: Modify all instances of "nautilus" in boxes.js so that they are changed to read "nemo" Save file Restart Cinnamon Works fine
Loved it, until now I use nemo instead of nautilus. The links to home, docs, etc, don't work and say "execution of nautilus videos failed."
I like this one. But after searching while typing the menu sticks in the menu instead of the favorites view. It should always start in the favorites list, like Windows 7. I can still use it 'blindly' (keyboard only) and it works as expected.
Thanks for updating this great applet. I've been miserable without it since it stopped functioning with a Cinnamon update. Everything is working great, except the "Shutdown" button no longer works.
yeah sorry about that i'll get that fixed soon as possible.
Works like a charm!!!!!. Thanks for the good work
Well, it does work like a charm, but it misses some menu items... I cannot find some applications in the menu, such as Ubuntu Software Center. Yes, I'm using Ubuntu 12.04.1.
Great menu. The only improvement that comes into my mind is making the menu scale on demand so that the entries in "All programs" and its submenus are visible.
Excelent menu, should be default for cinnamon :) My suggestion would be to add ability for Favorites to have multiple columns... or at least 2.
Great menu, but I don't have the Preferences or Administration options like on the default menu. Is there a way to get those on this menu? Maybe I'm just dumb and don't know because your picture shows that you have them on there.
Good work! But Cinnamon has a new file manager - Nemo. I've replaced your 'nautilus' code with freedesktop.org 'xdg-open' and it works! For home dir - ''xdg-open ." For documents - "xdg-open Documents" etc.... With this code your menu will be file-manager-independent.
Works nearly perfect: http://ambiancew7.batserve.com/B1.png http://ambiancew7.batserve.com/B2.png http://ambiancew7.batserve.com/B3.png 2 Bug's: 1) search box when categories are selected. 2) Categories and file names are sometimes cut
Muy bueno el Applet. Estuve revisando tu código, para adaptarlo a mi idioma (Español) y lo subo por aquí. http://goo.gl/gWaid No entiendo mucho de Javascript, quisiera saber en que parte del código se puede ponerle un Height más grande, para que entre todas las palabras. === (English) Google Translator Very good the applet. I was reviewing your code to adapt it to my language (Spanish) and upload it here. http://goo.gl/gWaid Do not know much about Javascript, I would like to know where in the code can put a bigger Height, to enter all the words.
Tengo un problema con la pantalla de bloqueo (Lock Screen). No puedo bloquear la pantalla a través del botón del menú. En vez de "lock", quiero poner "Util.spawnCommandLine('cinnamon-screensaver-command --lock')"; ¿Cómo hago?
