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. 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, for all others a PR is needed at the moment.
