[Solved] I need the "group-app.xml"

I managed to f-up my /home/user/.config/xfce4/desktop/group-app.xml. Can someone please copy the text in that file and paste it here?

 

Re: Help, I need the text in "group-app.xml"

i have a slightly edited version already but i think you can manage.
watch out for the firefox and the openoffice2.4 lines. the rest is default.

Code:

Re: Help, I need the text in "group-app.xml"

There should be a copy in /etc/xdg/xfce4/desktop

 

Re: Help, I need the text in "group-app.xml"

that's precisely correct.

 

Re: Help, I need the text in "group-app.xml"

Still problems. The back arrow (to go back to Home screen) is missing.

I could only find the "original / damaged" file there.

 

Re: Help, I need the text in "group-app.xml"

back arrow to go home? from what directory?

 

Re: Help, I need the text in "group-app.xml"

Desktop. Fun and Connect.

 

Re: Help, I need the text in "group-app.xml"

if it's the back arrow, (change color)

<app is_arrow="1" name="" sequence="0">/usr/share/applications/orange-back.desktop</app>

the command/Exec is "pidgin"
(weird eh :cry: )

 

Re: Help, I need the text in "group-app.xml"

Got the "arrows" to "work". The only problem is with Transmission. The icon won't reappear.

 

Re: Help, I need the text in "group-app.xml"

oh you mean it won't reappear when you put your mouse Over?

hmm.. i think i won't be able to help you on that. sorry.

 

Re: Help, I need the text in "group-app.xml"

No, the icon won't appear at all.

<app sequence="9">/usr/applications/transmission.desktop</app>

The full name of the application is Transmission BitTorrent Client. I have tried Transmission, transmission, transmission-bittorrent-client etc. I can not remember what I typed when it worked?

 

Re: Help, I need the text in "group-app.xml"

oh ok. so the arrows work.

for the transmission.desktop problem,

i think you forgot the word "share" -> /usr/share/applications

anyway,

1. alt+f2
2. thunar /usr/share/applications
3. look for Transmission (as i don't have transmission)
4. if you found it there, right-click then open/edit with mousepad (you dont need to edit anything)
5. once it is opened, look for the name of the file you are editing. it is the window name.

 

Re: Help, I need the text in "group-app.xml"

Two thumbs up! Problem(s) solved!
