Version: 0.7 (using 3.5.9, Kubuntu (hardy) 4:3.5.9-0ubuntu1) Compiler: Target: i486-linux-gnu OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.24-12-generic Whenever I hit "save" button in kmenuedit, it pops-up status bar "Updating system configuration". Once the status bar reaches 100%, it starts over. This process never ends.
I have the same problem. While editing I get some console output (see below). While kmenuedit tries to save I got no output on the console. It tried forever just like Tomasz reported. I am using latest KDE 4.1 (Ubuntu) packages. (Version 0.8, KDE 4.1.00 (KDE 4.1.0)). Also, strace shows me some failed file access: 23525 stat64("/home/xyz/.kde4/share/applnk/kmenueditrc", 0x846bc5c) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 23525 lstat64("/home/xyz/.kde4/share/applnk/kmenueditrc", 0xbf810490) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 23525 access("/home/xyz/.kde4/share/applnk/kmenueditrc", W_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 23525 access("/home/xyz/.kde4/share/applnk/kmenueditrc", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 23525 stat64("/home/xyz/.kde4/share/applnk/kmenueditrc", 0xbf810300) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 23525 stat64("/usr/lib/kde4/share/applications/kmenueditrc", 0xbf810300) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) Consoleoutput: kmenuedit(23007) KHotKeys::ShortcutsHandler::ShortcutsHandler: Initializing shortcuts_handler gmud@mod-mobile:/var/lib$ kmenuedit(23007) KHotKeys::ShortcutsHandler::addAction: Creating action for "{ca9d0c51-0000-4000-8892-978f7ea69dc0}" -

Same here in latest SVN. Seems that kmenuedit does not run kbuildsycoca4 when trying to save changes? When I make changes to the menu and run kbuildsycoca4 by hand, the changes will be stored.
I have the same problem. Would really like it fixed because I can't add VLC to the menu. I will try running kbuilsycoca4 by hand and see what happens. May have to go back to Gnome...
Oh, I'm using KDE 4.2.2.
Ok, I ran kbuilsycoca4 while kmenuedit was running. It didn't fix the problem of the never ending progress bar but when I restarted kmenuedit, all of my non-kde app showed up in the menu including vlc. So I didn't have to add vlc manually. I had to do the same process again when I installed more apps but it's not that big of a deal. Thanks Pollesch! I have no idea what kbuilsycoca4 is or what it does but that worked!
