menu editting



hi

	i've been testing the menu editing and creation with the changes that
where commited yesterday to cvs, here is the current status:

	1) you can edit the menu launchers (right mouse button), if you 	modify
something, the item gets copied into the users
	.gnome2/vfolders/applications and used instead of the main one.

	2) you can create a new launcher doing:
		gnome-desktop-item-edit applications:///p.desktop
	the item gets added to the Root menu.
		gnome-desktop-item-edit applications:///Games/p1.desktop
	the item gest added to the Games menu, and so on.
	
	3) you can create a new folder using nautilus, but: it cannot be
	renamed, or used as a folder, this is, the directory is there but 	it
can't be modified.

	4) items cannot be cutted/pasted from nautilus, the can't also 	be
dragged from another place to the folder where you drop them, i get 	a
error saying "invalid URI".

	so, here is want i think needs to be done to be able to edit the menus
from nautilus:

	1) add an menu item to nautilus to create launchers from the 	icon-view
(there is bug report about this: 78309), with this we
	would also solve bug 72715, which currently one of the two 
	blocker bugs in nautilus.

		I think i can make a patch for this in very little time.

	2) fix the drag and drop, cut and past of launchers to the 	different
subdirectories.

		I think this is not very difficult

	3) fix the renaming of the folders, this shouldn't be very 	difficult
also.

things left to have good editting capabilities:

	1) launcher editing (post 2.0?)

	2) ordering of items in the menues

	3) limiting the way in which users can customize the entrie

Diego
