[Bug 236070] Re: Manually deleted menu entries didn't resotore after reinstal aplication

[kko]

The bug report is valid from a user perspective.

This is, however, due to a design choice of KDE. The changes made are
saved to '~/.config/menus/applications-kmenuedit.menu', and reinstalling
a package can have no control over this.

>From http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdebase-runtime/userguide/kde-
menu.html :

"Common Pitfalls

Applications not in the menu do not exist with regard to other
applications or file associations: If you remove an application from the
menu, KDE assumes you don't want to use it.

When applications are unwanted in the menu, either place them in .hidden
menu or a dedicated menu with

NoDisplay=true

in the .directory file"

*

As said, from the "design perspective" this bug may be classified as
"Invalid", but it does not remove or negate the negative user
experience. The best option (from a user perspective) would probably be
for 'kmenuedit' to have a separate tickbox for "Hide this menu entry". I
do not know if this is done/planned in KDE 4.

** Changed in: kdebase (Ubuntu)
