francis77 Registered Member Posts 7 Karma 0 OS	import kde 3 menus to kde 4 Mon Sep 13, 2010 4:32 am I want to import KDE 3 menu to KDE 4. I tried kmenuedit, it brings up the kde 3 menu but this is not shown in my actual menu. So how is it possible to import this menu ?

bcooksley Administrator Posts 19765 Karma 87 OS	Re: import kde 3 menus to kde 4 Tue Sep 14, 2010 7:26 am By "KDE 3 Menu" I assume you mean the menu that allowed you to launch applications? If so, simply try editing the items in KMenuEdit to update them to the KDE 4 specification. You may need to move them around as well. KDE Sysadmin [img]content/bcooksley_sig.png[/img]

claydoh Registered Member Posts 1170 Karma 9 OS	Re: import kde 3 menus to kde 4 Tue Sep 21, 2010 10:56 pm I am not clear on if you have done so already, but have you switched the menu from the new 'Kickoff' style to the 'Classic' by right-clicking on the Kmenu icon? claydoh, proud to be a member of KDE forums since 2008-Oct, and KDE user since 2001
francis77 Registered Member Posts 7 Karma 0 OS	Re: import kde 3 menus to kde 4 Thu Sep 23, 2010 4:11 am OK I finally got it to work, I copied the contents of /opt/kde3/share/applications and /opt/kde3/share/applications/external to /opt/kde/share/applications and ran kbuildsycoca4. If someone has the same problem, he may add /opt/kde3/share to $XDG_DATA_DIRS and run kbuildsycoca4.
