built-in K-menu manager
Various KDE 1.-4. Improvements
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
Every time I install some new package or program, I add it in the K-menu. But adding icons into menu is not easy.
There is a MenuDrake for example in Mandrake Linux. That's ok, but that system menu and root menu just doesnt work. And icons are allways sorted with names. Why's that so, I want it my way. So I rather add icons manualy in console.
Why isn't manager for K-menu built in KDE, like Control center. In the end the K-menu is a part of KDE. So all distros would use the same thing.
I made a screenshot of a sample, as a single dialog. It maybe looks strange, but other people can do way better than me... :)))
Post some comments... ;)

I'm confused about the way of KMenu get its entries. For example, in Debian, we found three directories:
1 - /usr/share/applnk
2 - /var/lib/menu/kde
3 - ~/.kde/share/applnk
I suppose 1 is the system menu, all users will have that menu structure. Number 2 I have no idea and 3 are the user specific entries. Lets suppose I wants to change the menu structure. How could I translate the new structure for some languages? What is the file that contains the i18n of KMenu directories?
tnx!

However, recent freedesktop.org standards provide a new way for menus to be stored in a cross-desktop compatible way. Hopefully by the next major release of Gnome, KDe, XPDE, etc., the Mandrake Menu will no longer be necessary.

Editing the K menu should be more like adding menu items to the start menu in Windows.

Thtat has been in KDE for as long as I can remember...
