How can I make changes to my main Application menu In Gnome3, Any configuration files Or any tool do this out There?
What do you mean by "main applications menu"? Are you referring to the 'Applications' section in the Activities Overview or do you have a GNOME Shell Extension which adds an applications menu to one of the panels?
In either case, they would be based on the Desktop Entry Specification and the Desktop Menu Specification from freedesktop.org.
So, if you just need to manipulate which applications appear in which categories you would edit the Categories key in the applications' .desktop file.
You can use Desktop Entry Editor to edit .desktop files in a GUI (run it as root to edit desktop entries for applications installed to the system dirs /usr/share/applications and /usr/local/share/applciations and run it as a normal user to create your own custom application launchers in ~/.local/share/applications.
You can also still use the GNOME 2-style menu editor in GNOME 3, alacarte, which is in the repos for most distros.
Install the alacarte the menu editor used to be exist in Gnome-2

I'm using google chrome with multiple email accounts and hence chrome users feature is so useful to me. It was easy for me to create shortcuts for every user in windows 10. But it seems difficult for me to open chrome in an account and then switching to the account which I want to use. It would be much helpful if the chrome users with their respective user pictures can be pinned in the dock. I'm using Pop OS 20.04 LTS. Are there any commands for enabling it? or any tricks?
First you need to navigate to chrome data directory, default is ${HOME}/.config/google-chrome. There you could find folders that stores different profiles, for instance Profile 1. Knowing directory names chrome can be executed with profile directory as follows:
google-chrome --profile-directory="Profile 1"
Do not use full path, give directory name only.
Knowing correct command create desired application launcher (I guess you can figure it out) and optionally put it to ${HOME}/.local/share/applications to access it from "start menu".
First you need to create a folder.desktop file in .local/share/applications.
There you can paste this code
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Icon[en_US]=google-chrome
Exec=google-chrome --profile-directory=PROFILE_NAME
Name[en_US]=Chrome-PROFILE_NAME
Name=Chrome-PROFILE_NAME
Icon=google-chrome
Replace PROFILE_NAME with your own profile name.
then right click the file and go to properties>permissions and allow execute file as program.
Now press windows button and search for your PROFILE_NAME.There you can see your profile name.Add that to your favorites and open that file.If chrome asks for setup your profile,set you profile for the first time and after that every time you click on that icon it will open your profile.
In this way you can create icons for multiple chrome profiles.
We have an installer that places launch icons on the Gnome2 desktop. We have no control over where they wind up on the desktop; their ordering is apparently random, and often different from one install to the next. The user can easily clean them up by right-clicking the desktop and selecting "Clean Up by Name" but we would like to automate this.
Is it possible to trigger this same action through scripting?
I created a setup file for my project with advanced installer but when i try to uninstall the package from control panel i don't see any dialog showing up telling me that uninstallation is a success, it's just run, uninstalling the application and then close. how can i add a dialog to show after uninstallation process?
I'm using advanced installer 12.3.1 and I'm using a custom theme if that is relevant to the question.
It's because your MSI uninstallation through Control Panel goes in Basic UI mode.
There are several ways to do what you want:
If you need simple end success or failure dialog:
you need to create a custom action which will change INSTALLUILEVEL to INSTALLUILEVEL_BASIC and INSTALLUILEVEL_ENDDIALOG. Please refer these links to find more information about it: MSDN and MSDN
The second way is a trick to hide Uninstall button from Add\Remove Programs and left only Change button. Then you need hide Change and Modify buttons from Maintenance dialog window in AdvancedInstaller (InstallShield, Orca, InstEd, etc). In this case you will receive uninstallation in Full UI mode.
I have a weird problem that after installing software apps on my computer, I cannot seem to be able to click on the menus.
I can actually click on the menus but this doesn't invoke the menu commands, i.e perform analyses or show drop down menu items. I can however access these commands using the respective keyboard shortcuts.
I can use many apps on my computer but this problem pertains to specific analytical apps, namely SPSS and Tableau.
Any help will be appreciated.
If this is happening in multiple apps, it must be an issue with your OS/hardware or something general and not an issue with specific applications.
I am using the WebBrowser control to browse local files and folders, but the control seems to be designed primarily to browse the Web (as its name implies).
I need to be able to do common tasks, like using the "Up one level" button, or put the control in "File Search" mode, get the active item, etc.
Is there a way to do these things using this control?
Is there a comprehensive documentation somewhere to explain local browsing using the WebBrowser?
Thanks all.
Here is a good intro that should help you get started on this. Most of the work with this dialog will be done by the browser, you need only to prompt it how to open the dialog.
I think you may be confusing the WebBrowser control with Windows Explorer.
If you want to browse around your local file system, then you need to add an Open File Dialog to the form containing the Web Browser control, then have a button of some kind open that dialog to locate the file to load into the WebBrowser control.
