Script for KDE4.8 menus

[chinnasaeb]

I want to write a script so that the menus can be changed for all users in the system
Can anybody help.
i have tried to google but of no help at all

I think one could use a single user account to customize the menu, then copy the files in ~/.config/menus across to each other account.

Alternatively, I think one place to start is to look at the .desktop files in /usr/share/applications -- I think these are what populate most of the system menu.

Good luck!

Once you have the one 'template' , copy the specifig files into /etc/skel.
Which as far as i guess represets the base of your home directory, to build the path structure.

Well whenever somebody develops an application, he adds it to to menu item.
There must be some way of doing it.
Where can I get it?

Packages for GUI programs usually include .desktop files that are installed in /usr/share/applications -- that seems to be how things are added to the menu.
