That was an quick fix. Thank you. I didn't realise how much I relied on Cinnamenu until I spent a day without it. The default menu was... frustrating. Keep up the good work!

Hi Fredcw, I'd like to make a suggestion: would it be possible to have the opportunity of defining a folder other than the "home" folder in the settings? This could limit the number of search results and avoid finding duplicates, if they exist in other folders, for example synced or back up copies. Thanks for all the great work!

After the last update, it refuses to start. Mint 19.3 Cinnamon 4.4.8 Kernel 5.4.0-120-generic. No idea why.

I have recently started using this menu and I have noticed that if you enable the home folder search functionality then hidden files from your home folder will show up in the search. There is an option to show hidden files but it seems like it is only affecting the actual file browser in the menu. Is there a way to block hidden files from showing up in the file search? Thanks for all of the work you have put into this!

How about integrate the software store into the menu, so that when you search for "Blender" it would allow you to install the app, would be a massive time saver.

This is really helpful! I have an idea for a feature: Add an option to the context menu of apps to open its desktop file. This would come in handy a lot for me at least, since I sometimes want to see the exact command and arguments it launches. Alternatively, having a way to add your own items (like how you can with nemo actions) to the context menu would be nice too. But I know that would require a lot more work.

Hi Fredcw The menu is getting better and working perfectly at Mint Cinnamon. A suggestion and a question...!!! Would it be possible to arrange the icons of the category and the application grid vertically?... one under the other and not sideways The menu in this case would have a design similar to MenuX (KDE-Plasmoid) and Windows 11. Thanks again for the development.

Very good applet, but i have one issue report, I'm using it at the middle of panel like Windows 11 but at the first use, using Meta Key, after poweron computer it isn't placed at middle screen but follows the button position, so, clicking in it by mouse, it turns to right position. It doesn't bother me, i'm reporting just for help the development. Thank you for spend your time mainteining it.

thanks

Fredcw, Great update 4.15.5 (2022-04-08 21:07:50) Everything works! Just one thing I've noticed: when no search options are selected, using the prefix "f" sometimes return duplicate entries for the file being searched for. It's almost as though one of the entries is for a recently opened file.

Ótimo trabalho.

Hi Fredcw, I see that recent updates to Cinnamenu have gone well for others (alcane1959) but for me, the browser search seems to have completely stopped working. At about the same time, however, I started using LMDE 5 but I imagine that is irrelevant. Would you have any suggestions? Thx.

Hi Fredcw The update was perfect....it was wonderful!!!!!! Thank you for your attention and congratulations on the project !!!

This is an amazing applet! I would recommend this to people who are just switching from Windows to Linux. This interface would help them feel right at home!

Thank you... I look forward to seeing if it will be possible!

Hello fredcw Congratulations on the project, which I've been using for a long time! One question...would it be possible to open the menu in the center of the screen? like windows 11 (regardless of where the button to open the menu on the panel is located)

Awesome

very good

I agree with all the praise for Cinnamenu - it really is very useful. Krunner reliably seems to "guess" what I'm looking for i.e. a bookmark or a file. If this learning process is too time consuming to implement in Cinnamenu, what about being able to preface a search string with "b" for bookmark or "f" for file? I keep trying to go back to my old favourite, KDE plasma with krunner but every time I try I give up and return to Linux Mint and Cinnamenu! Thank you for all your work.

It's a beauty, simply the best! But there is room for some improvements, and I'll even suggest one : The "recent files" tab is a mess ! It would be better to split the view into 4 columns separated by types -- images, documents, videos, music -- which would help a lot. And it doesn't distinguish newly opened files from saved files or recent downloads, but that could be Mint's shortcoming, as Cinnamenu is just a top-art front-end for a native application. But it would be nice and an amazing advance to have a tab or buttons to distinguish the 3 categories of recent files -- newly opened, newly saved, and newly downloaded; and an option to open them in a Nemo file browser window, which already has this functionality, but doesn't separate files by type. It allows searching by extension ( in the search bar ) but only by a specific extension, like ".png". Separating by file type would require a script to run on Nemo, but it would be a step forward and would make Cinnamenu more than just a front-end, but an improvement to the system.

A minor issue with 4.14.22 (2021-12-30 17:22:16) running under Mint 20.3. I have Super L (only) assigned to open/close the menu, because I use Super R for other things. Following an update to Mint 20.3, both hotkeys now open/close the menu (this is stock behavior). Configure>Behavior still shows only Super L, with the second hotkey slot unassigned. Here's the interesting bit: As long as the Configure menu is open, the hotkeys work correctly (i.e. Super R is ignored by Cinnamenu). But as soon as Configure is closed, it goes back to responding to both keys. And: Thanks for a great menu replacement!

Is there a way I can get cinnamenu to search browser bookmarks in Vivaldi? (Trying to find an alternative to Chrome.)

Please add an option so we can hide this "Favorites" folder from category menu. It's the folder, not "favorite apps": https://i.imgur.com/1FHn5Gk.png

Thanks for putting back the 'uninstall' feature!

I love this applet mostly because the search is so much better than the Cinnamon menu's! I have a problem where it sort of freezes Cinnamon after typing 3-4 letters for a second or two. Not sure what causes it. I have an NVIDIA card and two monitors, and two instances of Cinnamenu.

Ótimo trabalho. Gostei muito desse applet, muito bonito. Seria muito bom se você pudesse colocar a opção de desintalar os programas ao clicar com o botão direito do mouse assim como é no windows no mas, achei excelente, parabés novamente.

I have just installed Cinnamenu on a Cinnamon Desktop on Debian 10. I would like to change the Session Buttons Location, however, I cannot find this option anywhere! Can anyone lend me a helping hand? I think it should be in the Layout and Content section, but it simply is not there.

Hey, just wanna say that I really enjoy Cinnamenu. It's clean and just generally a nice menu. However, I do have one suggestion. I noticed that there is no way to delete apps from the menu directly and honestly this is almost a deal breaker for me as I found this to be extremely useful in the stock menu on Mint, though I prefer the look and feel of your menu. So I dug through the comments on this page and found that you removed the option to prevent novice users from deleting something crucial to the system. I'm just wondering if you could possibly consider reimplementing this feature. Maybe have it disabled by default but still have a way of enabling it in the settings. Maybe include a bold warning saying that it's intended for advanced or knowledgeable users and enabling the delete setting could cause major issues if you don't know what you're doing..? idk, I just think that not having this option is a major bummer as I would use it very often with the default Mint menu. I would be deeply grateful if you would consider implementing this suggestion as it would make your project a permanent addition to my system. Thanks!!

Hello. I love this menu, thank you for making it and maintaining it. Is it possible that you add the ability for the favourite programs to be somehow separated in groups? Like just a gap between the groups. Something like the windows 10 tiles. Thank you!

I love the Cinnamenu! There where a lot of updates in july and august. Only every time Cinnamon has to restart, the screen becomes blurry and vage untill I restart my machine. Than it's normal agian. Is there anyone who also has this issue?

Is there a way to hide specific categories? I have category items in the menu as well as other applets. I *never* look inside those categories.

Hi, is there a plan to implement hiding session buttons altogether? Meaning the whole favorites / session button section does not appear at all?

Not sure what happened, but recently the search function is very slow. It takes 1-2 seconds to load results and completely freezes Cinnamon while loading.

Looks nice, gonna try it for awhile.

is there a way to hide the categorie sidebar?

¿is there any way to center it like windows 11 menu when open?

I love this applet! I just have one small thing I'm trying to adjust. When I hover over the menu categories like accessories, games, etc. it is not using my theme color. Its using an orage-red color and I don't know where that's coming from. Can I change that? I think it should be the same color as when I hover over the main menu icon.

Another thing I'd like is math results to appear in a bigger and wider tile so it would be clearly visible that it's not an app, placing a wide tile that ocuppies a whole row by itself as the top result would look pretty good in my opinion.

It would be nice if emoji results only showed up when a certain character was typed, like DuckDuckGo "!bangs", for example, if I want to search "music" and only see related apps but not emojis, I would simply type "music", but if I wanted emojis I could type something like ":music", "/music", "#music" or something like that, I would not recomment using a "!" as it would conflict with DDG searches.

This menu looks SICKK!!! thanks :)

here is what it gives: https://ibb.co/s555cMm

I found : in cinnamon.ccs menu-application-button and menu-application-button-selected

Merçi.

how to decrease the size of buttons (tiles) ?

I'm seeing a small glitch when the menu closes, the session buttons along with the search box get squeezed into a smaller box. Here is a recording of it, might need to be slowed down: https://youtu.be/JlJEdu9kl-4

I made this video for you bro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJvn7SO9qUI

Check this out too: https://www.linux-apps.com/p/1450887/

Can you make it look like this menu: https://i.postimg.cc/85M56Hpw/v-Rk-F9-VJk2-Hse-JHpu-Hw-Hg-Kf.jpg. That screenshot is of windowsfx 10 Plasma edition https://windowsfx.org/

Where this app excels over the default Menu is it can be resized to take up the entire screen or only a small portion of the screen and then the icons re-sized to suit. Mine is set up so hitting the Start key expands the menu over the entire touch screen of my laptop which then displays oversized icons for selection by touch.

"Do you mean mini versions of the webpage?" yes

Thanks for adding tile style to the applet. But can you make these tiles chameleonic; i.e. match the color of the icons, and add thumbnails to the web bookmarks that stretch across the tiles.

Thanks for adding tile style to the applet. But can you make these chameleonic; i.e. match the color of the icons, and add thumbnails to the web bookmarks that stretch across the tiles.

Hello please add the "Recent apps" functionality. It's a pity Cinnamon doesn't have it.

I found a problem： When i input letters in the search bar, the response speed is very slow.

Cinnamenu is very nice as is. Deepin's minimized "Launcher" looks a lot like a traditional menu. Maximized, it looks a lot like Gnome. To the point, the minimized launcher includes the time and date, along with a settings button. I would post a screenshot if I knew how. I'm not asking for anything, just thought I would just mention it. I'm examining a bunch of desktop environments and the only one I really dislike is KDE Plasma.

Can you add the option to enable tiles just like Windows 10 menu?

There's only one thing missing from this applet, that's included with the latest version of the default menu applet. It's the "Favorites" category introduced along with a "Favorites" applet. Since a "Favorite Apps" category is already included with Cinnamenu, might I suggest a "Favorite Docs" category?

I just wanted to thanks this amazing applet. Cinnamenu should be standard in Linux Mint!

Wonderfiull Applet, thank you! i notice 2 small problems: 1) when change theme from mint-y to , for exemple mint-y blue, ans the "open category with click" is selected, le highlighted category is RED , not grey. Not beautifull... 2) in recents, when i record file from libre office, 2 entry are displayed: one with corrected extension, the second without .extension ( this cannot be opened.

So if I understand the previous comment, there is no way to comment out or hide the category list on the left side? How about the session buttons? Since I don't always agree with the categories some of the apps are put in, I like to move them around using the menu editor; but with the custom icons I have this causes lots of problems (wrong icon appears on the grouped windows list on the panel, windows of different instances of the same app don't combine, etc.) Unchecking the categories on the menu editor makes all of the apps they contain disappear from the menu . . .

Hi ! Many thanks for this amazing work. I'm a technology teacher in a French middle school in Normandy. I am recycling all the computers in a computer room with Linux and in order to give them the look of windows 10 that the students are used to, I'm using this applet. Please, could you add the possibility to hide the items "All application", "Administration" and "System settings" like it is possible with CinnVIIStarkMenu (windows 7 like menu). I need this options to be hidden so the students can't make mistakes. And another problem : All applications, Favorite apps and the text "Shutdow the computer" under the Power button are not translated in french language. I had to modify them in the applet.js file. Thanks for your help. David.

Thank you @fredcw for this lovely menu. Would you please add customization for the "spacing" between "Application Grid Icons" . I found that max visible columns are 7 on my Linux mint 19.2 , actually I need to narrow down the spacing between application grid icons to make space for more columns.

Thank you @fredcw. The bug is fixed, i got it. but the search box only search recently used files, it cann't search other files in my home directory.

i cann't find the file When i input chinese in the search box . Cinnamenu search box only support English, It does not support Chinese.

I very like Cinnamenu, It's nice. But It has a bug, cinnamenu only search the name attribute in the desktop file, not the name attribute of the system language. For example: You can find “Name=Text Editor” on line 2 of “xed.desktop”. Cinnamenu can find xed when i input "text" or "editor" . but my system language is Chinese，You can find "Name[zh_CN]=文本编辑器" on line 102 of “xed.desktop”. Cinnamenu cann't find annything when i input "文本" or "编辑器".

Congratulations. What a top applet! My favorite on Linux Mint Cinnamon 20,1. Is there a way to add the option to remove apps directly from it?

Could be added an option to hide categories!

since yesterdays update i dont see any appclications in list view, the categories are there but no applications. grid works like it should. any suggestions?

I have 3 icons in favourites which i want to delete but can not. can someone guide me to where I can edit these out? They use to represent network links.

Is there a way to disable emoji search?

I just opened an issue for this, but assigning just the Super key to open Cinnamenu conflicts with the Super+R keyboard shortcut to open Run dialog (and presumably other keyboard shortcuts that use the Super key?). It seems like Cinnamenu should wait for single Super key keyup before opening to allow other shortcuts to take precedence.

One thing I've found a bit difficult to do is keyboard navigation. There are some inconsistencies. Assuming the session buttons are on the bottom, and the categories are on the left: * tapping "down" while the last category on the bottom is selected will loop around to the first category, while tapping "up" when the session buttons are selected actually enters the category list, from the bottom * tapping "right" while a category is selected will enter the app grid from the left edge, but tapping "left" while on the left edge of the app grid will loop around to the right edge of the grid Now there is a way to get around this, and it's using "Tab" to cycle focus between the 3: categories, session buttons, and the app grid. However, while focus on the session button and the app grid is indicated clearly (with the hover effect), focus on the category list is not indicated (as there is always a category active). The way I see it, there are 2 ways to fix this: * either use the arrow keys only, and fix the (literal) edge cases * keep using Tab, but indicate clearly when navigation is focused on categories

I know everyone else has said this already, but this is the best Applet! Certainly my favorite. ;) IMO, they should make this the default menu style for Mint. As soon as I switched my mom's mint laptop to this menu, she could immediately find her programs better, and she was really impressed by how much easier this was to use than the old scrolling list menu. I consider this an essential part of my Mint installs going forward. Thanks for making/maintaining this!

First of all, thanks for this great applet! As I came from Xfce I always compare this menu to whisker menu. So I have some feature suggestions / requests: 1- Add a new category "Recent Apps" or "Recently Used"; also add it to option "Open menu on category" 2- Possibility to display only icons when "grid" option is selected (put the app name and description in tooltips) TIA

@AM EU/DE Hallo, primär schließe ich mich allen lobenden LM-Usern hier an! Auch unterstütze ich die Idee, dass die LM-Entwickler das Standard-Menü-Applet gegen dieses austauschen sollten. Eine Frage hätte ich dann noch: Gibt es evt. die Chance, die Liste der Suchmaschinen selbst zu erweitern? ZB. mit startpage.com, metager.de, searx.me etc. Absolut, sehr gute Arbeit! Respekt! Brexitania/UK Hello, primarily I join all the praising LM users here! Also, I support the idea that LM developers should replace the default menu applet with this one. One more question: Is there a chance to extend the list of search engines? E.g. with startpage.com, metager.de, searx.me etc.? Absolutely, very good work! Respect!

Why was the option to uninstall programs removed from the right-click menu?

Great menu and I wish Linux Mint team provide an option in the welcome screen to choose between the default menu and Cinnamenu. Looks modern and configurable. Thanks to the awesome work!!!

Love this menu! Just would like to point 2 things: - "use session buttons box style" is not spacing the session buttons anymore since the last 2 updates - it would be nice if you could add an option for "always open menu on places" as you have for favorite apps, considering "places" is the category i mostly use

great menu, i try it

With the breeze-dark icon theme, the session buttons look out of place. Compare e.g. the vanilla menu, with favorites set at 24px icon size, with Cinnamenu, session buttons set at 24px (https://imgur.com/a/PfeVkTJ). At icon sizes bigger than that, the "lock screen" button is wrong for both (may be the icon theme's fault), but at least at 24px & below it could probably be fixed in Cinnamenu.

Not sure if you've considered it, but an option to automatically search via the software manager would be nice. So if I search for a program but it's missing from my system, the applet could suggest installing it via the software manager.

Hi, menu resizing not working anymore with the last commit (named "Menu resizing"...) Cinnamon 4.8.3 manjaro linux.

One of the things I miss from Windows 10 (yeah, sue me) is all the shortcuts to system items when you right-click on the start icon. Things like links to home directory, system settings and software manager (among others) would make some things simple. Don't shoot me, it's just a suggestion.

Mint 19.3 Cinnamon - Kernel 5.4.0-53 - Cinnamenu 4.11.4 (2020-11-28 19:37:18) I applied the latest update, and now cinnamenu has lost the favourites folder. Doesn't seem to be any way to bring it back either.

Is it somehow possible to change the panel icon size? Weird that the icon is forced to be smaller than icons in CobiWindowList.

Cinnamenu in version 4.11 (2020-11-18 04:22:30) is not allowing me to use more than two characters to search for an application. For example: I have installed the Steam app, when I type in the search field the word Steam the menu only filters using the first 2 characters "St". In the original cinnamon menu, the search field is normally working. I'm using Linux Mint 20, being 100% up to date. Can you reproduce and fix this bug? Thanks.

Important: Menu does not open in last update #3307

Hey! I think that when the session buttons are not on the left, the categories should be at the edge of the screen (Fitts' law).

Great work! But I have a request: could you make the "Favorites" menu item movable to the top ? I use the taskbar at the top of the screen as seen here: https://i.ibb.co/3zzgskf/menu.png

How to access the built in calculator?

What is the big dot spot next to the session buttons? is possible to remove it?

Is possible to replace the default left mint menu by cinnamenu?

Is there a way to change width of Cinnamenu window? It would be nice.

Registered just to comment. Very good menu alternative - not only the menu itself but also all the configurable options. Good job, using it for sure.

Thought I'd chip in with a quick comment to say how much I like this applet. I used to use it when the previous developer was maintaining it, but dropped it after it started to get a bit laggy. Fred here has not only resurrected it, but has greatly improved the performance and functionality. I really enjoy using it. Hat tip :)

Is there a way to change the size of account details/logout/shutdown etc buttons?

Hi! What a wonderful menù!! Could you move the power buttons to the left so we can select the power off icon clicking the up button and shut it down pressing enter?

Thank you so much for the development and sharing of this applet. Would be hard add a file/folder search, as was made to web search and calculator?

fredcw, I noticed in using Cinnamenu that "Recents" was not showing the icon. This is true for Adwaita, Gnome... my own icon sets... I looked in the applet.js and changed "folder-recents" to "folder-documents-recent" which is how it is named in the above. In addition, I changed "emblem-favorites" to "folder-favorites' in order to make that icon appear. To make theming easier, I made another adjustment: this.menu.setCustomStyleClass('cinnamenu-background'); This way I can set .css to see Cinnamenu differently in order to allow for unique images to be used rather than a gradient that is more universal. I wonder if this may be helpful to you; While it makes my copy of Cinnamenu do what I expect on my machine, it may not be the same for other users.

Great menu works fine in linux mint 20 , would be nice if there is an option to show the grid applications as tiles ,as in KDE tiled menu i was able to do it in the theme settings CSS file with button back-ground color, padding and borders ,looks great , however using other theme you have to change the css again. Thanks for this menu.

Sem dúvida, meu applet favorito! espero que continue melhorando o desempenho as animações do menu e adicione uma opção de múltiplos layouts.

Its great. I did notice a bug (or frustrating intention); changes to the Cinnamenu Configuation gui also changes SOME of the primary Cinnamon Menu configuation settings. I had to reset mine but it appears the menu editor is the culprit. Have a rad day, stay safe.

Hello, I was wondering if you could add an option to use symbolic icons for the lock/logout/quit buttons like in previous versions of Cinnamenu - I like the cleaner look of the symbolic icons, as opposed to the icons now which are larger and colorful.

Cinnamenu update!!! Work fine I am happy thanks best your keep up. My linux mint 20 on computer

Correction to my previous post: The "msgid" text inside "Cinnamenu.pot" now corresponds with "da.po". I re downloaded Version 4.2.8 and compared the files with "Meld", and I will replace the Dutch text with Danish in "da.po" That is if someone else is not doing it, or you don't want me to do it?

I'm using Version 4.2.8 on Linux Mint 19.3 Cinnamon, and this and the prior version has got some mixed translation inside the settings; I'm Danish and the Cinnamenu settings are now a mix of mostly Danish, some Dutch and a little bit English. Even the description in the applet program for Linux Mint is in Dutch language. I've tried to translate the "da.po" file which didn't do anything. (I translated the Dutch into Danish.) I then tried to take the "msgid" from "Cinnamenu.pot" because they were not the same as the "msgid" inside "da.po", that didn't do anything either. There also Dutch locale inside Cinnamenu. I really want to help with the Danish translation, but I'm not sure how to continue.

Not sure if this is a Cinnamon thing, but hovering is sometimes unresponsive https://youtu.be/AdhA0R1Y33g

Great to have this menu applet back and working again :) Thank you. (I also appreciate the return of "sort categories by drag and drop").

Thank you for continuing this brilliant menu for Cinnamon. I would also like to have the "sort categories by drag and drop" feature re enabled, because I've got the taskbar at the top, and like to have the Favourites at the top of the menu.

Hi! Has "sort categories by drag and drop" been disabled in this latest update? Thanks.

Hey! Latest update (with menu icon change) has completely broken the LIST view. Removed and re-added the applet to no avail. doesn't break the applet and it just uses grid. (The quick-toggle is also missing, too.)

Last version (Version 4.1.6 (2020-06-02 08:44:47) get an error from Cinnamon (4.4.8 with LinuxMint 18.3). In looking glass, I have : error t=2020-06-04T07:38:43Z Could not find setting key 'currentCategory' for xlet Cinnamenu@json error t=2020-06-04T07:38:43Z Could not find setting key 'currentCategory' for xlet Cinnamenu@json error t=2020-06-04T07:39:16Z Could not find setting key 'currentCategory' for xlet Cinnamenu@json (3 times) The error is not fatal : The menu is OK.

Hi I I like this menu better than the default but I have a problme with it. I'm new to this so I don't know where to add an issue so the creator can see it. When I use Custome Height 700 the right click doesnt work o the grid aplications but when I lower the Menu Height to 600 the right click menu does work. I want to use 700 as the menu heigth because it fill all my screen and wanted to simulate a Launch Pad.

Sadly this menu fails in it's search. For example, when I want 'Visual Studio Code' to launch, I remember I can launch it in terminal typing 'code'. When I open this menu, for some reason it's a LONG way down the list - everything else - worse matches - come up first, top of the list being a Chromium app 'Google Translate' WTF. So this is for mouse warriors and fails from keyboard.

I really like this menu , but hoped to have the list of buttons ["Account details", "Grid/List View","Lock Screen","Logout","Quit"] in a reverse order since most of us use "Quit" more often. Please if possible push an update or atleast reply to this comment on how to edit the .pot file, any other required file to change that order,

Hi, everyone. I'm too glad to see again Cinnamenu among us, because it is really a great menu. It is necessary to see some features that don't work exactly well. By deafult, it is better that the Cinnamenu show us the category "All apps" and not "Favorite apps". Maybe it can works by slides too (left-right), as an option else. Thank you for your great work.

I like this menu better than the default one, glad it's back!!!

I used it until 19.3 got rid of it. I'm glad to see it back.

Can't make it work in Cinnamon 4.2. .xsession-errors says this: Cjs-Message: 10:19:15.086: JS LOG: [LookingGlass/warning] [Cinnamenu@json]: Missing property "url" in metadata.json Cjs-Message: 10:19:15.089: JS LOG: [LookingGlass/error] [undefined]: File not found: /home/danlii/.local/share/cinnamon/extensions/Cinnamenu@json/4.0/extension.js And sure enough, there is no extension.js in the downloaded zip file. Don't know if that's the showstopper, but still.

got it.

How to view apps in grid?

Works great in Linux Mint Cinnamon 19.2. Really like being able to search through all my bookmarks in Chrome, & Firefox right from the menu. Excellent. Sure would be great if there were an option to include additional folder paths to other browsers' bookmark folders like Pale Moon. I know many of us are using multiple browsers. And I'm not sure that it would even be possible, but it sure would be cool if you could delete bookmarks right from the search returns without having to use a browser's bookmark manager. Like to right-click on a bookmark, to bring-up a short-cut menu where delete could be selected.

Hello, is there a way to change the fonts in the Cinnamenu? When I change the fonts in cinnamon, it does not change in the Cinnamenu. (Cinnamenu 4.1.3)

After upgrading Linux Mint to 19.2, Cinnamenu was broken, so i installed the most recent version. It works, but i can't enter the settings anymore. The window does not pop up at all.

Thank you for this usefull applet. only one suggestion: add option to disable fuzzy search ( use standard search same as defaut cinnamon menu) Why? because i dont understant how fuzzy search work, results aren't pertinents.

I quite like Cinnamenu, but I kind of miss the old Slingshot menu applet, and I was wondering if you would consider adding options to not show the categories at all and also to not show the search bar.

Hi! Thank you for creating this menu. I do have a problem however. It seems not to work on cinnamon 4.0.8. It downloads just fine but when i am switching to the manage tab the it is not to be seen. So I cant use it. Also there is no error of some kind, can I find a log or something I can put with this message?

Excellent! Thank you for making it. Only one small problem. Search results are lagging a bit.

Awesome! Great job!

Can you add the option to launch this menu from hotcorners as in Slingscold https://www.noobslab.com/2015/03/slingscold-launcher-fixed-for-all.html

Comment 100 can only be ... my heartfelt thanks! "From freedom came elegance" - and your applet is the icing on the cake. Not only elegant, but sophisticated. Fantastico!

Modern menu on Linux Mint Cinnamon. Using it, thanks!

I am liking this menu, good work. One suggestion for appearance settings. Currently there is an option to hide the category and application icons, but I would like to hide their text instead and only show the icons.

EU/D Super praktisch, das Applet! Vielen Dank für die gute Arbeit! Einen Bug habe ich in LM 18.*/19.* Cinnamon festgestellt. Will man per App-Kontextmenü --> Deinstallieren eine App entfernen, ist die Funktion inaktiv. Im "original Cinnamon-Menü" ist diese Funktion aktiv. UK/Brexit --↓ Super handy, the Applet! Many thanks for the good work! I found a bug in LM 18.*/19.* Cinnamon. If you want to remove an app via App context menu --> Uninstall, the function is inactive. In the "original Cinnamon menu" this function is active.

Hi everybody, do you know how I can add Cinnamenu at the plank dock ? Thanks.

Very nice, and less broken that the menu Mint Cinnamon ships with. However, while trying to work around some problems with the default menu - by using yours instead - I notice problem depicted in the screenshot here: https://i.postimg.cc/8C9zTYgn/new.png Might this problem - text truncation within the right-click menu - owe to my having HiDPI enabled?

Hi, can we use the 4.0.x version on Mint 19 and Cinnamon 3.8.x ? Can you tell me more about the support for two instances option ? Can I set 2 diffferent instance of the menu ? Thanks.

Uninstall not work ( don't ask for root password) Uninstall work with default menu ( ask for root password ) mint 18.3 cinnamon 3.6

I was in love with this menu for about five minutes. I use separate panels (taskbars) on both of my monitors and I want to have a separate instance of whatever menu I'm running on each panel. Windows 8 and up does this flawlessly (it's not enabled by default). Cinnamenu doesn't support this and the dev closed a feature request on github for this (cinnamon-spices-applets issue #1921). CinnVIIStarkMenu allows this but ignores which panel has the focus when I hit the super (Windows) key and instead cycles across instances starting with whichever one was installed first. The out-of-box default Menu in Mint 19 is the only menu I've found that gets it right.

Suggestion: Option to start showing all applications, not just favorite applications.

hey jason wouldn't it be easier to just create an extension for cinnamon to adjust all menus scaling i installed cinnamon on ubuntu mate 16.04 for the raspberry pi the problem is the menu is too big im not using this menu im using starkmenu i like cinnamon better cause i can install themes much easier through the themes application im not very experienced with computers or linux devices i have to learn commands on the internet to uninstall stuff dont have to add scaling options to any menu just a separate extension that does that would be cool

Thank you! This is what I was looking for. I like the fact that I can enable the click to open a category and I can add more applications to my favorites.

This is a fantastic replacement for the default menu. It's one of the first things I install when I spin up a new Cinnamon box. I did add one feature request to the Github list - the ability to reorder the actual menu items as well as the category list. If it could do that, it'd be just about perfect.

Very2 good,,, it give me more freedom on cinnamon.... thanks friend... :) Good Job...

HI, I like your menu, it work perfectly on my linx-Mint environment. So before yours, I used another menu (CinnamonTools) and I would suggest (if that agree you) some improvements which previously exist in Cinnamotools (no more avaliaible) - customization of user and system icons (quit, lock screen, ... ) : [size, position, custom icons, ... ] - possibility to have the favorites vertically on the left of catégories(in the 2 modes) - possibility to add custom links (to appli, file, .. ) under the verticalfavorites Thanks

This is great. Nice looking but I use two monitors and I will not allow me to add more than one menu. So I cannot have another menu button on my other screen.

Hi Jason, Styling of the context menu appears not to be following the DE theme style. I have a light theme in Cinnamon. In Cinnamenu context menus the icons are white instead of dark, and the text is a minty very light green instead of dark. Besides that, a great menu! I would love to see more customization options in the future, such as enabling/disabling bookmarks, places and favourites. Thanks!

Hi jason, How to make the translations work with Cinnamenu ? Some parts of your menu are still in english (Cinnamenu settings part). Thanks.

Great version 3.2.0 ! The drag and drop category re-ordering is really practical !

Hi, could u please explain how I add search providers? I'd like to have the tracker one, but I can't figure out how....

Hello Jason First off all your menu is a great add for the linux community, hope you get some more time to improve it unto perfection. All works fllawless on Mint so far, but I use arch as well and simply cant figure how to add the search providers? They seem to be missing somehow. Any help where to add those would be great. Lars

Great applet... but one thing i noticed i am getting only 5 entries in favrouites. perhaps make it most used menu and update it on the app usage. thanku

Just a big THANK YOU for Cinnamenu applet! Keep up the good work.

Nothing is showing in the menu when i add it to the panel and there are all applications in menu editor , please help

Right click context menu is completely broken if using it from the Search Results; Adding to favorites, desktop or launcher doesn't work, and instead just launches the program.

@Jason Hicks: Will there be a custom menu width option soon in your applet? I have been very busy lately so I didn't have time to take care of the French translation of your menu. Thanks.

Can't remove Firefox from Favorite Apps

problem with Cinnamon 3.6 and the Tyr Himin, Tyr Jord, Arc-Dark, Adapta-Nokto themes. when selecting a program, the icon is moved (as in my screenshot) and the menu has a weird behavior (see my .gif) http://pix.toile-libre.org/upload/original/1514588653.png http://image.k-upload.com/view-img-norm_2017-12-30-1d3de9bc4output.gif

Awesome !

Updated Cinnamenu to the latest version ,after upgrading Mint to 18.3. It pretty much works as the previous version, except, when turning off tooltips, it shows them below the catetegories, which is fine. But because some tooltips are longer, it makes the menu wider and shorter, which results in stuttering from left to right. For now i have to enable tooltips, so they appear where the mouse is. Could you please fix that? that i can disable tooltips completely, or have them shown below the categories again but not make the category menu wider, when the tooltip is longer/wider?

Hi, Just wondering if the end user can add to the default search providers and if so how?

Just installed and added to panel, worked fine. When moving to the bottom left of the screen, it doesn't work anymore. I can't click on it or use shortcut to open it. Not sure what the issue is.

Love the app, but have a question on set-up. Each time I hover over the "menu" and it opens, "Favorite Apps" is highlighted, Can this action be changed as I would prefer to have "All Applications" highlighted. Thank you for any consideration you give this John

Hey, I think I found a bug. Basically right clicking on an icon in the menu and selecting any of the options (add to panel, add to desktop, add to favorites) does not work, and simply opens the application instead of executing that function! Anyone else seen this? any thoughts on fixing? Thanks - Love the applet!!

@jaszhix agree with the other commenters you have done a nice job cleaning up gnomenu! We were contributing in the past some to gnomenu when working more with gnome, but have moved on. For example, we helped add the code that made the text width of the app extend wider than the icon width. In the past, if you had a 64px icon, you only had 64 px for the app name, and thus it was always "Firef..." instead of "Firefox Web Browser" even if you had only 3 columns and tons of space. Anyway, I am mainly commenting to say that a variable width panel would be nice (along with the nice feature you have implemented to have a variable height). Of course, depending on the number of columns a user chooses and the icon size chosen, the minimum width will change.... but would be nice to choose 3 columns at 32px icons and thus have the menu significantly thinner.... again keep up the great work! BTW why does Cinnamon give the warning about this applet potentially causing performance issues? Is there something that could be stripped out to remove that warning to not scare off people from using it?

@Jason Hicks: I translated the whole strings of the fr.po file in french. I need to check some strings because i'm not sure of the traduction. When it will be ready I could send you the file. Of course if you want.

I added it to the panel and it worked fine, but after I moved it over and clicked it again it just opens a tiny grey box with nothing in it. Any advice?

Thanks for adding an option to adjust the menu height. ;-) Could you add an other option for adjust the width of the menu ? Then we'll be able to adjust the size of the menu as we want (Full screen, half screen, ....) . Do you think a transparence option will be possible ? Thanks for your work. Note: Can I help you for French translation ?

You're awesome man. Thanks

This is my favorite cinnamon menu that I use. Great job on the program. There is a bug in the new update that prevents the applet from being utilized in vertical panels.

What is the Cinnamenu command? I want to create a hot corner.

On a dual monitor setup, only seems to work on one monitor.

gghghg

Hey!! I do love this menu I've just discovered :) But there is a problem with the search bar. It does not find the app if I don't write it's full name from the beggining. Eg: no results when typing "Writer", only when searching "LibreOffice Writer". In default Cinnamon's menu the app can be found just searching for "Writer". This is a huge problem in Spanish, as lots of applications do not start with their name. Eg: VLC is "reproductor multimedia VLC".

I have downloaded it and unzipped it. No idea what to do next.

Newbee here. How do you install it? Running Mint 17.3 Thx,

Hello, I have installed this applet and I am using Linux Mint 18.1 'Sarah' 64-bit Cinnamon with the "Mint-Y-Dark" theme... However, when I try to open the menu a little black vertical line appears instead. What's going on? Thanks, Hubert

Great applet ! Keep it up.

Awesome applet! Last update is great, key navigation was necessary. However, some applications as Super Tux Kart and Sublime Text appear with a weird name and they are not searched ('<b><u>S</u></b>' instead 'S' for all letters). Fixint it would be very desirable. In addition, an option to configure wdith and height of menu or a full screen check would be great in order to be able to have a menu similar to Gnome 3 applications menu. Thanks!

For some reason the search is a bit... odd. For example, typing in Mozilla brings nothing, but Firefox and Thunderbird bring their respective programs. Similarly, typing Wine brings nothing but Configure Wine brings it up.

I missed to tell you something in my last message. It's about of the favourites apps. Why you don't put icons like the default Cinnamon menu for the favourite apps to the left of the menu entires ? I think it is more pratical.

@Jason Hicks: As the configurable-menu applet is no longer support with Cinnamon 3.4 and will no longer supported with the new version of Cinnamon, I will use your menu applet in replacement. It's a shame you didn't add an option to resize or display the menu in full screen. I have a 2 in 1 device (pc/tablet). When I am in tablet mode, I activate the menu full screen and grid mode under the Configurable-menu applet, and it is very suitable for tablet mode. With your grid mode, your applet is suitable for touchscreen. I tested your applet with Cinnamon 3.4. I enabled the option to have the recent files (in Cinnamon paramaters -> Confidentiality), but it doesn't appear in your menu. I also don't have the "Clear List" button for recent files . Is there a bug in your applet ? Thanks for you work.

I'm not sure if it's just me, but it looks like you can't navigate this menu using keyboard buttons? If that's true, that's a deal-breaker for me..!

COOL! I HOPE THAT THIS WILL BECOME THE DEFAULT MENU APPLET OF THE NEXT RELEASE OF LINUXMINT!

An extremely good applet menu. Very functional, fast, and smart looking after some minor configuration setup. Jason has done an excellent job on this. gir1.2-gda-5.0 will need to be installed to let Firefox/Chrome bookmarks appear in the menu, which is a great facility and well worth turning on. I found I had to adjust the configuration quite a bit to make it look spot on to my eyes, but it is easy to do. I don't like the scaling of icons to fit the available space as that produces giant icons for menu categories with few applications in, but it's easy enough to turn that off . Will use more memory than the standard menu, but not so much as to cause a problem on a reasonably specced computer.

Well, I tested your applet. The icons of the applications don't resize correctly in grid mode (when we change the size of icons). Some times, the configure option freezes (right click on the menu -> configure). I have some suggestions : - Have the favorites icons (like cinnamon menu) on the left of the menu, but enable the user to display it or not. - Have an option to display the menu in full screen. - Have an option to define the size of the menu. Otherwise, it is a good applet. ;-)

I think new menu based on gnomenu is there on 18.2 roadmap. Looks awesome. Far better than default menu.
