# lxqt-menu-data

Freedesktop.org compliant menu files for LXQt Panel, Configuration Center and PCManFM-Qt/libfm-qt.

Runtime and build dependency for [lxqt-panel](https://github.com/lxqt/lxqt-panel), [lxqt-config](https://github.com/lxqt/lxqt-config) and [pcmanfm-qt](https://github.com/lxqt/pcmanfm-qt).

Replacement for and partially based on [lxmenu-data](https://github.com/lxde/lxmenu-data) (LXDE).

### Menu Files

* `lxqt-applications.menu`: Default menu file for the "Main Menu" plugin in lxqt-panel and "Applications" in PCmanFM-qt.

* `lxqt-applications-fm.menu`:

  * Application chooser menu in PCManFM-Qt (right click menu "Open with → Other applications")

  * Applications menu in PCManFM-Qt if installed outside of LXQt.

  

* `lxqt-applications-simple.menu` and `lxqt-applications-compact.menu`:  Alternative menus for the "Main Menu" plugin in `lxqt-panel`.

* `lxqt-config.menu` : Used in "LXQt Configuration Center".

* `desktop-directories`: Needed for icons and translations for the categories in all menus.

### Compiling source code

Build dependency is [lxqt-build-tools](https://github.com/lxqt/lxqt-build-tools). Additional build dependencies are CMake and optionally Git to pull latest VCS checkouts.

Code configuration is handled by CMake. CMake variable `CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX`

has to be set to `/usr` on most operating systems.

To build run `make`, to install `make install` which accepts variable `DESTDIR`

as usual.

### Packages

Official packages are provided by all major Linux distributions like Arch Linux, Debian (trixie), Fedora and openSUSE. Just use your package manager to search for string `lxqt-menu-data`.

### Translations

Some of the categories used in both menus and "Configuration Center" can be translated in [LXQt Weblate](https://translate.lxqt-project.org/projects/lxqt-configuration/), for all others a PR is needed at the moment.

* `lxqt-settings.directory` "LXQt Settings"

* `lxqt-leave.directory` "Leave"

* `lxqt-settings-system.directory` "System Settings"

* `lxqt-settings-other.directory` "Other Settings"

* `lxqt-education-science.directory` "Education & Science"
