Start by just editing a single launcher #89

Open brianjmurrell opened 3 years ago

brianjmurrell commented 3 years ago

Is there a mode for menulibre to start such that it just displays a single launcher (maybe given as a command-line option) to be edited, hiding the menu structure on the left as well as all menu-manipulation functions?

Effectively I'm looking for a one-shot single launcher (.desktop item) editor and nothing else.

This sounds like it would be useful and could fill the gap left after gnome-desktop-item-edit was removed with gnome-panel.

It's a shame this wasn't extracted from gnome-panel as it seems like a pretty common action, I'm still surprised I can't right click an icon in GNOME shell and edit it's desktop file.

Right? https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/4728

They would implement the right-click behaviour if an appropriate application existed. menulibre seems the closest, if it could just fill this RFE.
