Minor bug with Launcher

Postby broadstairs » Jun 15th, '11, 15:36

since installing Mageia the one small item which is bugging me is the 10 most recent items showing in the launcher displays descriptions and not program names. This is a problem as Firefox and Konqueror both show as Web Browser, yes I know the icon is different but it is much easier if the program name is shown instead. Nothing I have tried has changed this part of the display. Can someone point me at how to change it please?

Right click the Kmenu icon, select Application Launcher Menu Settings, > Options > Format. Should be what you are looking for but it seems to work backwards for the recent program names. i.e. if the rest of the menu shows names, recent progs show description and vice versa.

That's what was confusing me.... I have both set on. Thing is that with Mandriva it used to work correctly which is what I want - just to display the program name across the whole menu. Is this a bug?

It could be a bug but I haven't tried on a clean user so thought it was due to me using the same /Home through a prolonged session of distro hopping (PCLOS, Unity, Mandriva, Fedora, Synergy, Mandriva, Synergy, Mageia)which tends to muck things up a bit. Does anyone else see this behaviour?

I made two clean installations (of Mageia 1 i586, one for a stable backup and one for Cauldron), and I don't have this issue.
It could be related to keeping Mandriva's home as richardwest said, if that's the case for you too broadstairs.
