Configuration: Can't modify favorite apps

[clefebvre]

Favorite apps can only be modified using gsettings.

Just for clarification purposes (I've just started testing Cinnamon under Linux Mint 12-64 bit), is this referring to "Default Applications" as seen under "System Info" in "System Settings"? Or is does this refer to modifying the 'Favorites' area in Cinnamons' "Mint Menu" which I haven't found a way to do yet.

Hi KirkM,

This is for the favorites in the menu (which should be "menu" actually, not "mintMenu".. we'll have to fix that as well).

Thanks Clem. Once last question as I'm testing all 3 desktops included in LM 12 (I'm not bothering with "Fallback" mode). and trying to keep all acronyms straight and I'm not too sure what 'gsettings' refers' to exactly.

Whichever I'd describe gsettings I'm sure it'd be wrong, think of it as gconf++ :)

Type the following in a terminal:

gsettings list-recursively org.cinnamon

All these are gsettings keys, schemas... it's a configuration repository where we place settings and access them.

[KirkM]

Ah, got it. I'll leave it as is for now as i need to train myself up on changing things in gsettings via the terminal that specifically apply to Cinnamon.

Update: I've installed 'dconf-tools' and have used the 'dconf Editor' to successfully modify the apps shown in the panel and the Favorites area of the menu. I should have posted here earlier but the holidays kept me busy.
