Description Virgil Nisly 2005-01-09 02:27:04 UTC

KMenuEdit needs a howto on to add a item to the menu. PhilRod told me about it 
on #kde-docs, but nobody's around to look at my proposed howto... :( It's too 
big to send to mailing list, so I created this bug for it. 
Could you please look at it, it's not completed, but it's a .kwd file, I think 
I'll probably mark it up... but this is a proposed fix, could you please give 
me comments on amount of screen shots, clairity of speech, etc? 
Thx! 
Virgil

Comments: 
It should be 'add a menu item'
The command needs arguments, at the very least a %U ('firefox %U').
Maybe this would be a good spot for listing the command argument macros? They are in the whatsthis help for the entry.

Updated docbook

After much stress (hopefully I learned a couple things though), I have
completed the docbook version (presented as tar.gz, to keep images). This will
probably go in userguide, etc... Lauri, PhilRod, can you decide where to put
it, or what to do with it?
Thanks!
Virgil

SVN commit 411316 by lauri:

A quickstart how-to, about adding a new menu entry, including the so far only
place we have much documentation on the URL tokens.  This could probably stand
to also be in the user-guide.  

Big thanks to Virgil Nisily for the work
