Hi guys,
Just installed LM 17.2 (replaced 17.1) and am currently fine-tuning it to my requirements.
However, many of these programs now have 'generic' names on the whisker menu. For example
GIMP is now just "Image Editor", there are also two entries, both called "Media Player" (Banshee and VLC).
Why not include the actually program names, instead of this generic labelling?
And while I'm on the case, why not just ditch Banshee and Totem altogether, since VLC does everything
they can do anyway? That's another minor annoyance...
Cheers,
Mike.

It took you longer to write this than it takes to solve it... Right-click on the menu button, choose Properties, remove the mark on "Show generic application names".

I discovered this very same check box...
...after spending a small eternity in the "Edit Applications" window removing "generic names" and removing/editing descriptions until my eyes were bleeding.
/facepalm!!!!!

This sounds great,xenopeek wrote: Right-click on the menu button, choose Properties, remove the mark on "Show generic application names".
but I don't find 'choose Properties' on either 17.2 or 17.3 beta with a right-click.
What else am I missing?
TIA
Got it now. Thanks, xenopeek.
